MSAccess: select N records from each category
- by Jaume
I can't solve this on MS Access SQL.
I have a foo table with this fields:
id, title, category, date
I need to show 6 records showing the 2 most recent items from each category
For example, I have:
ID TITLE CAT DATE
------------------------
1 aaa cat1 12/03/12
2 sdfs cat2 12/03/12
3 asg cat2 13/03/12
4 flkgjfl cat3 11/03/12
5 dgdg cat1 18/03/12
6 dfgd cat1 15/03/12
7 dgdgd cat3 18/03/12
8 dfgd cat3 12/03/12
9 uiuou cat1 14/03/12
10 ghj cat4 11/03/12
So, I need something like:
ID TITLE CAT DATE
----------------------------------
5 dgdg cat1 18/03/2012
6 dfgd cat1 15/03/2012
3 asg cat2 13/03/2012
2 sdfs cat2 12/03/2012
7 dgdgd cat3 18/03/2012
8 dfgd cat3 12/03/2012
Thank you in advance.
