How to Select Row with Max Value When Duplicate Rows Exist in SQL Server

How to select row with max value when duplicate rows exist in SQL Server

You're basically just missing a status comparison since you want one row per status;

SELECT *
FROM WF_Approval sr1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT *
    FROM  WF_Approval sr2 
    WHERE sr1.DocumentID = sr2.DocumentID AND 
          sr1.Status = sr2.Status AND                  # <-- new line
          sr1.StepNumber < sr2.StepNumber
) AND MasterStepID = 'Approval1'

or rewritten as a JOIN;

SELECT *
FROM WF_Approval sr1
LEFT JOIN WF_Approval sr2
  ON sr1.DocumentID = sr2.DocumentID 
 AND sr1.Status = sr2.Status
 AND sr1.StepNumber < sr2.StepNumber
WHERE sr2.DocumentID IS NULL
  AND sr1.MasterStepID = 'Approval1';

SQL select only rows with max value on a column

At first glance...

All you need is a GROUP BY clause with the MAX aggregate function:

SELECT id, MAX(rev)
FROM YourTable
GROUP BY id

It's never that simple, is it?

I just noticed you need the content column as well.

This is a very common question in SQL: find the whole data for the row with some max value in a column per some group identifier. I heard that a lot during my career. Actually, it was one the questions I answered in my current job's technical interview.

It is, actually, so common that Stack Overflow community has created a single tag just to deal with questions like that: greatest-n-per-group.

Basically, you have two approaches to solve that problem:

Joining with simple group-identifier, max-value-in-group Sub-query

In this approach, you first find the group-identifier, max-value-in-group (already solved above) in a sub-query. Then you join your table to the sub-query with equality on both group-identifier and max-value-in-group:

SELECT a.id, a.rev, a.contents
FROM YourTable a
INNER JOIN (
    SELECT id, MAX(rev) rev
    FROM YourTable
    GROUP BY id
) b ON a.id = b.id AND a.rev = b.rev

Left Joining with self, tweaking join conditions and filters

In this approach, you left join the table with itself. Equality goes in the group-identifier. Then, 2 smart moves:

1. The second join condition is having left side value less than right value
2. When you do step 1, the row(s) that actually have the max value will have NULL in the right side (it's a LEFT JOIN, remember?). Then, we filter the joined result, showing only the rows where the right side is NULL.

So you end up with:

SELECT a.*
FROM YourTable a
LEFT OUTER JOIN YourTable b
    ON a.id = b.id AND a.rev < b.rev
WHERE b.id IS NULL;

Conclusion

Both approaches bring the exact same result.

If you have two rows with max-value-in-group for group-identifier, both rows will be in the result in both approaches.

Both approaches are SQL ANSI compatible, thus, will work with your favorite RDBMS, regardless of its "flavor".

Both approaches are also performance friendly, however your mileage may vary (RDBMS, DB Structure, Indexes, etc.). So when you pick one approach over the other, benchmark. And make sure you pick the one which make most of sense to you.

SQL Select highest value where duplicate ID

select top (1) 
with ties ID, DayNumber, Mfm, value
from
table
order by row_number() over (partiton by
                            ID, DayNumber, Mfm
                            order by value desc)

How can I SELECT rows with MAX(Column value), PARTITION by another column in MYSQL?

You are so close! All you need to do is select BOTH the home and its max date time, then join back to the topten table on BOTH fields:

SELECT tt.*
FROM topten tt
INNER JOIN
    (SELECT home, MAX(datetime) AS MaxDateTime
    FROM topten
    GROUP BY home) groupedtt 
ON tt.home = groupedtt.home 
AND tt.datetime = groupedtt.MaxDateTime

how to get a Row with Max value of a column?

You can use a correlated subquery:

select t.*
from mytable t
where t.srno = (select max(srno) from mytable t1 where t1.p_id = t.p_id)

With an index on (p_id, srno), this should be an efficient solution.

Anoter common solution is to use row_number():

select pid, name, srno, rate
from (
    select t.*, row_number() over(partition by p_id order by srno desc) rn
    from mytable t
) t
where rn = 1

SQL Select Max(Date) out of rows with Duplicate Id

Try this:-

SELECT d.Id, d.UserId,d.CreatedDate,d.Status FROM 
(
    SELECT UserId, Max(CreatedDate) as MaxDate  
    FROM TableA
    WHERE Status = 0
    GROUP BY UserId
) r
INNER JOIN TableA d
ON d.UserId=r.UserId AND d.CreatedDate=r.MaxDate AND Status=0

Your GROUP BY and JOIN needed to be on UserId for this to work, and I've moved the filter by Status=0 to the derived table / subquery.
