| boo writes "I have two tables joined by a common GUID, let’s say the UserID, and the tables are User and UserHistory. The first table has information about the user, where the second table is a log of actions that a user may take.I want to do a query so that I get all the users, with just the top 1 ordered by datecreated desc in the second table. My result set should look something like this:User Last ActionTed LogonBob LogoffI’m not sure how to dynamically select the top 1 by UserID and order it descending when I don’t know the UserID before hand. This should be simple, but I’m stumped. Please help! Thanks." |
