Create a SQL query to retrieve most recent records
- by mattruma
I am creating a status board module for my project team. The status board allows the user to to set their status as in or out and they can also provide a note. I was planning on storing all the information in a single table ... and example of the data follows:
Date User Status Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
1/8/2009 12:00pm B.Sisko In Out to lunch
1/8/2009 8:00am B.Sisko In
1/7/2009 5:00pm B.Sisko In
1/7/2009 8:00am B.Sisko In
1/7/2009 8:00am K.Janeway In
1/5/2009 8:00am K.Janeway In
1/1/2009 8:00am J.Picard Out Vacation
I would like to query the data and return the most recent status for each user, in this case, my query would return the following results:
Date User Status Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
1/8/2009 12:00pm B.Sisko In Out to lunch
1/7/2009 8:00am K.Janeway In
1/1/2009 8:00am J.Picard Out Vacation
I am try to figure out the TRANSACT-SQL to make this happen? Any help would be appreciated.
