Get the latest date from grouped MySQL data

Question

I have the following data in my database:

|NO | model | date     | 
+---+-------+----------+
|1  | bee   |2011-12-01|
|2  | bee   |2011-12-05|
|3  | bee   |2         


        

Answer 1

Subquery giving dates. We are not linking with the model. So below query solves the problem.

If there are duplicate dates/model can be avoided by the following query.

select t.model, t.date
from doc t
inner join (select model, max(date) as MaxDate from doc  group by model)
tm on t.model = tm.model and t.date = tm.MaxDate
