Slick 2.1.0 Filter Max Version in a Table

Question

I'm trying to get the max version number from a table. My table contents are:

id externalId name version
1  10         n1   1
2  65         n2   2
3  10         n3   2
4  77         n4   1 

In the table above, we have rows that has the maximum version as 2, so my query has to return this maximum version row for the given externalId that I pass into my query.

I'm now stuck up with writing the Slick version of it. Any suggestions, pointers? This is what I have so far: (I pass in the externalId)

for { 
myTable1 <- myTable1Elems
    if myTable1.version === (
      myTable1Elems
        .filter(_.externalId === s"$externalId")
        .map(_.version)
        .max
  )
} yield myTable1

This seems to be doing the wrong thing, as my tests show that it returns 2 rows when I ask the maximum version for externalId = 77. I get both

1  10         n1   1
4  77         n4   1

returned as results which definitely is wrong. I guess I need to groupBy, but I just could not figure out how I could write the Slick combinator! Any help?

Answer 1

So I managed to get this solved:

private def configMaxVersionFilter(extId: String) = for {
  tbl <- myTable1Elems
  if tbl.externalId === s"$extId" && tbl.version === (
    myTable1Elems
      .filter(_.externalId === s"$extId")
      .map(_.version)
      .max
    )
} yield tbl
