SQL Query to get column values that correspond with MAX value of another column?

Question

Ok, this is my query:

SELECT
  video_category,
  video_url,
  video_date,
  video_title,
  short_description,
  MAX(video_id) 
FROM
  videos
GROUP BY
  video         


        

Answer 1

I would try something like this:

SELECT
   s.video_id
   ,s.video_category
   ,s.video_url
   ,s.video_date
   ,s.video_title
   ,short_description
FROM videos s
   JOIN (SELECT MAX(video_id) AS id FROM videos GROUP BY video_category) max
      ON s.video_id = max.id

which is quite faster that your own solution
