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

I have a table of player performance:

```
CREATE TABLE TopTen (
id INT UNSIGNED PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
home INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
`datetime`DATETIME NOT NULL,
player VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL,
resource INT NOT NULL
);
```

What query will return the rows for each distinct `home` holding its maximum value of `datetime`? In other words, how can I filter by the maximum `datetime` (grouped by `home`) and still include other non-grouped, non-aggregate columns (such as `player`) in the result?

For this sample data:
```
INSERT INTO TopTen
(id, home, `datetime`, player, resource)
VALUES
(1, 10, '04/03/2009', 'john', 399),
(2, 11, '04/03/2009', 'juliet', 244),
(5, 12, '04/03/2009', 'borat', 555),
(3, 10, '03/03/2009', 'john', 300),
(4, 11, '03/03/2009', 'juliet', 200),
(6, 12, '03/03/2009', 'borat', 500),
(7, 13, '24/12/2008', 'borat', 600),
(8, 13, '01/01/2009', 'borat', 700)
;
```

the result should be:

| id | home| datetime | player | resource |
|----|-----|------------|--------|----------|
| 1 | 10 | 04/03/2009 | john | 399 |
| 2 | 11 | 04/03/2009 | juliet | 244 |
| 5 | 12 | 04/03/2009 | borat | 555 |
| 8 | 13 | 01/01/2009 | borat | 700 |


I tried a subquery getting the maximum `datetime` for each `home`:

-- 1 ..by the MySQL manual:

SELECT DISTINCT
home,
id,
datetime AS dt,
player,
resource
FROM TopTen t1
WHERE `datetime` = (SELECT
MAX(t2.datetime)
FROM TopTen t2
GROUP BY home)
GROUP BY `datetime`
ORDER BY `datetime` DESC

The result-set has 130 rows although database holds 187, indicating the result includes some duplicates of `home`.

Then I tried joining to a subquery that gets the maximum `datetime` for each row `id`:

-- 2 ..join

SELECT
s1.id,
s1.home,
s1.datetime,
s1.player,
s1.resource
FROM TopTen s1
JOIN (SELECT
id,
MAX(`datetime`) AS dt
FROM TopTen
GROUP BY id) AS s2
ON s1.id = s2.id
ORDER BY `datetime`

Nope. Gives all the records.

I tried various exotic queries, each with various results, but nothing that got me any closer to solving this problem.

Try this

select * from mytable a join
(select home, max(datetime) datetime
from mytable
group by home) b
on a.home = b.home and a.datetime = b.datetime

This works on Oracle:

with table_max as(
select id
, home
, datetime
, player
, resource
, max(home) over (partition by home) maxhome
from table
)
select id
, home
, datetime
, player
, resource
from table_max
where home = maxhome

Here goes **T-SQL** version:

-- Test data
DECLARE @TestTable TABLE (id INT, home INT, date DATETIME,
player VARCHAR(20), resource INT)
INSERT INTO @TestTable
SELECT 1, 10, '2009-03-04', 'john', 399 UNION
SELECT 2, 11, '2009-03-04', 'juliet', 244 UNION
SELECT 5, 12, '2009-03-04', 'borat', 555 UNION
SELECT 3, 10, '2009-03-03', 'john', 300 UNION
SELECT 4, 11, '2009-03-03', 'juliet', 200 UNION
SELECT 6, 12, '2009-03-03', 'borat', 500 UNION
SELECT 7, 13, '2008-12-24', 'borat', 600 UNION
SELECT 8, 13, '2009-01-01', 'borat', 700

-- Answer
SELECT id, home, date, player, resource
FROM (SELECT id, home, date, player, resource,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY home ORDER BY date DESC) N
FROM @TestTable
)M WHERE N = 1

-- and if you really want only home with max date
SELECT T.id, T.home, T.date, T.player, T.resource
FROM @TestTable T
INNER JOIN
( SELECT TI.id, TI.home, TI.date,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY TI.home ORDER BY TI.date) N
FROM @TestTable TI
WHERE TI.date IN (SELECT MAX(TM.date) FROM @TestTable TM)
)TJ ON TJ.N = 1 AND T.id = TJ.id

**EDIT**
Unfortunately, there are no RANK() OVER function in MySQL.
But it can be emulated, see [Emulating Analytic (AKA Ranking) Functions with MySQL][1].
So this is **MySQL** version:

SELECT id, home, date, player, resource
FROM TestTable AS t1
WHERE
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM TestTable AS t2
WHERE t2.home = t1.home AND t2.date > t1.date
) = 0

This will work even if you have two or more rows for each `home` with equal `DATETIME`'s:

SELECT id, home, datetime, player, resource
FROM (
SELECT (
SELECT id
FROM topten ti
WHERE ti.home = t1.home
ORDER BY
ti.datetime DESC
LIMIT 1
) lid
FROM (
SELECT DISTINCT home
FROM topten
) t1
) ro, topten t2
WHERE t2.id = ro.lid

SELECT tt.*
FROM TestTable tt
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT coord, MAX(datetime) AS MaxDateTime
FROM rapsa
GROUP BY
krd
) groupedtt
ON tt.coord = groupedtt.coord
AND tt.datetime = groupedtt.MaxDateTime

Since people seem to keep running into this thread (comment date ranges from 1.5 year) isn't this much simpler:

`SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM topten ORDER BY datetime DESC) tmp GROUP BY home`

No aggregation functions needed...

Cheers.

SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 FROM table1 WHERE c3 = (select max(c3) from table)

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE c3 = (select max(c3) from table1)

Try this for SQL Server:

WITH cte AS (
SELECT home, MAX(year) AS year FROM Table1 GROUP BY home
)
SELECT * FROM Table1 a INNER JOIN cte ON a.home = cte.home AND a.year = cte.year

Here is MySQL version which prints only one entry where there are duplicates MAX(datetime) in a group.
