Question

Let’s say I have two tables, users and notes. Let’s say the schemas look like this:

users
id, name, field2, field3

notes
id, user_id, subject, heading, body, timestamp

What I want to do is select every user, and the LATEST (just 1) note posted by each user based on the timestamp to show in an overview report.

How would I go about doing this? Please note that the DB is MySQL.

Thanks!

Answer 1

 select users.name, notes.subject, notes.heading, notes.body
 from users, notes
 where users.id = notes.user_id
 and notes.timestamp = (select max(timestamp) from notes where user_id = users.id)
