How to SELECT by MAX(date)?

Question

This is the table structure:

CREATE TABLE `reports` (
  `report_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `computer_id` int(11) NOT NULL default \'0\',
  `date_e         


        

Answer 1

Workaround but working solution

Only if ID is autoincrement, you can search for the maximum id instead of the max date. So, by the ID you can find all others fields.

select *
from table
where id IN ( 
              select max(id)
              from table
              group by #MY_FIELD#
              )
