SQL select from a group

Question

Suppose we have the following table data:

ID   parent    stage     submitted
1      1         1           1
2      1         2           1
3      1         3           0
4      1         4           0
5      5         1           1
6      5         2           1
7      5         3           1
8      5         4           1

As you can see we have 2 groups (that have the same parent). I want to select the latter stage that is submitted. In the above example i want to select the ID`s 2 and 8. I am completely lost so if anyone can help it will be appreciated a lot. :)

Answer 1

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE ID = 2 OR ID = 8

Is this what you want?

Answer 2

SELECT T.ID, T.PARENT, T.STAGE 
from
   T, 
   (
      select PARENT, MAX( STAGE) MAX_STAGE 
      from T
      where SUBMITTED = 1
      GROUP BY PARENT 
   ) M
where 
   T.STAGE = M.MAX_STAGE 
   AND T.PARENT = M.PARENT

Explanation: First, isolate the max stage for each group with submitted = 1 (the inner select). Then, join the result with the real table, to filter out the records with no max stage.

Answer 3

Select Parent, max(Id)
From tbl t
Inner Join
(
    Select Parent, max(Stage) as Stage
    from tbl t
    Where Submitted = 1
    Group by Parent
) submitted
on t.Parent = submitted.parent and
    t.stage = submitted.stage
Group by Parent

Answer 4

This should do it:

SELECT
     T1.id,
     T1.parent,
     T1.stage,
     T1.submitted
FROM
     Some_Table T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Some_Table T2 ON
     T2.parent = T1.parent AND
     T2.submitted = 1 AND
     T2.stage > T1.stage
WHERE
     T1.submitted = 1 AND
     T2.id IS NULL
