Question

I have a 1 table database that has a list of advertisements.
I am trying to grab the LATEST advertisement for EACH resort.
I know it should probably be a table database, but how would I go about doing so.

Answer 1

select t.*
from YourTable t
join
    (select resort, max(dateAdded) dateAdded
    from YourTable
    group by resort) m on t.dateAdded = m.dateAdded and t.resort = m.resort
order by t.resort

First group the rows by resort to find the max of dateAdded, then query (join) the rows that have the same dateAdded with the max.

One problem is, if the same resort b is added in the same time, twice or more, it will take only the first row. But I think is slightly possible.
