MySQL : selecting all corresponding fields using MAX and GROUP BY

Answer 1

without a single primary key field, I think your best bet is:

select * from deal_status
inner join
  (select deal_id as did, max(timestamp) as ts
  from deal_status group by deal_id) as ds
  on deal_status.deal_id = ds.did and deal_status.timestamp = ds.ts

this still won't work if you allow having two different statuses for the same product at the same time

Answer 2

Hi i hope this gives what u want it

select deal_id,status_id, timestamp from deal_status 
inner join
  (select deal_id as did,max(timestamp) as ts
  from deal_status group by deal_id  )as ds
  on deal_status.deal_id = ds.did and deal_status.timestamp = ds.ts order by deal_id
