Question

I am trying to get the highest marks datewise in mysql.

When i ran this query :-

select tid from post order by marks desc limit 0,10;

I get the highest marks but not datewise.

And when i run this query.

select tid from post order by date desc limit 0,10.

i get value date wise first…
But i want to get the highest marks date wise..

For example my table is :–

s.no    marks   date
1       97      15-01-2013
2       104     14-01-2013
3       100     16-01-2013
4       105     16-01-2013

So, i want to get

s.no    marks   date
4       105     16-01-2013
3       100     16-01-2013
1       97      15-01-2013
2       104     14-01-2013
