Question

I have a table: orders, and need to make a request and get other table.
My DB table:

id  close
1   2012-05-29 03:11:15
2   2012-05-30 03:11:40
3   2012-05-31 03:12:10
4   2012-05-31 03:14:13
5   2012-05-31 03:16:50
6   2012-05-31 03:40:07     
7   2012-05-31 05:22:18
8   2012-05-31 05:22:22
9   2012-05-31 05:22:50
...

I need to make a request and get this table (GROUP BY DAY(close)):

1   2012-05-29 03:11:15
2   2012-05-30 03:11:40
9   2012-05-31 05:22:50 /*This is a last record on this day (05-31)*/

Thanks!

If I make this request:

SELECT id, close
FROM `orders`
GROUP BY DAY(close)
ORDER BY id ASC

I will get this table:

1   2012-05-29 03:11:15
2   2012-05-30 03:11:40
3   2012-05-31 03:12:10

Answer 1

Try this, this will do.

SELECT 
    a.id,
    a.close
FROM
(
    SELECT 
        id,
        close
    FROM
        `orders`
    ORDER BY
        close DESC
) AS a
GROUP BY 
    DATE(a.close)
ORDER BY 
    a.id
ASC;
