Multiple max values in a query

Question

I know the title does not sound very descriptive, but it is the best I could think of:

I have this table

ID     BDATE      VALUE
28911  14/4/2009  44820
2         


        

Answer 1

You can use analytics:

select 
      id, bdate, value 
    from
      (
        select
          id, bdate, value, max( bdate ) over ( partition by id ) max_bdate
        from
          myview
      )
    where
      bdate = max_bdate
