Do business at ordinary times , It is often the latest piece of data that needs to be checked .

As for the latest concept , For products , What I often say is Chronological order , The latest is Recent meaning .
 

 

Combined examples :

This is a record sheet for recording the visits of personnel .
The data in the data sheet accurately records the color of the hat everyone wears when visiting , time , Personnel code ( Everyone is unique ).

 

Sample data :

 

What needs to be done is :

Take out the latest visit records that meet the conditions .

What would you do best ? 

Realize a little first , take out A101 This person is coded Latest visit records .

First show the wrong sql Example : Take it for granted max() function .

SELECT MAX(id) AS id ,user_code,cap_color,create_time FROM vist_record WHERE
user_code='A101' ; 

Query results ( Wrong result ):

 

Obviously, at first glance, the data are similar .

But it's actually wrong , Yes, filter by criteria , And then take the largest one that meets the conditions id value , Replaced separately id.
 

The correct data is :

 

Is that right max(id) It's useless ?

Correct usage ( Will meet the conditions of the maximum id Value as condition ):

SELECT
 id,user_code,cap_color,create_time
FROM vist_record
WHERE id IN (SELECT MAX(id) AS id FROM vist_record WHERE user_code='A101' )
 

Query results :

 

But see the above method of using subqueries ,

Everyone must have been secretly scolding their mother , It's so troublesome to get the latest data ?

Do you have something simpler ?

have .

for instance , We have determined , id Is self increasing ,id Largest data ( Eligible data ) It's the latest .

Then we can use reverse order DESC To get the latest data :

DESC that is Reverse order / Descending order .

PS:

  Use reverse lookup :

SELECT *
FROM vist_record
WHERE user_code='A101'
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 1;

Query results : 

  Or in reverse chronological order :

SELECT *
FROM vist_record
WHERE user_code='A101'
ORDER BY create_time DESC
LIMIT 1;

Query results : 

 

Is it that simple ? 

So if what we need is not specified A101 What we need is the latest data of everyone involved ?

That is, there are multiple groups . 

The latest qualified data of each category

The orange box is A101 ,B202 , C303 Separate latest records , We need to take it out .

 

 

 

Error examples :
 

SELECT MAX(id) AS id ,user_code,cap_color,create_time FROM vist_record   GROUP
BY user_code

Bad filter results :

 

Correct coding :
 

SELECT  id ,user_code,cap_color,create_time FROM vist_record  WHERE id in
(
SELECT MAX(id) AS id  FROM vist_record  GROUP BY user_code 
)

 

okay , Let's stop here first .
