Get the latest date for each record

Question

I have a History table (like a log) that records changes to parts:

TransactionID    Part ID          Description        Last Updated
1                1                   


        

Answer 1

Here's How I would do it

 ;WITH CTE AS 
 (
 Select PartId, MAX(LASTUPDATED) as 'MAXX' from part group by PartId
 ) 
 Select TransActionId, p.PartId, Description, p.LASTUPDATED
 from Part p
 inner join CTE on p.LastUpdated = CTE.MAXX
                and p.PartId = CTE.PartId
