MySQL INNER JOIN select only one row from second table

Question

I have a users table and a payments table, for each user, those of which have payments, may have multiple associated payments in the payments

Answer 1

You need to have a subquery to get their latest date per user ID.

SELECT  a.*, c.*
FROM users a 
    INNER JOIN payments c
        ON a.id = c.user_ID
    INNER JOIN
    (
        SELECT user_ID, MAX(date) maxDate
        FROM payments
        GROUP BY user_ID
    ) b ON c.user_ID = b.user_ID AND
            c.date = b.maxDate
WHERE a.package = 1
