Hello

I asked something similar to this in the past, but even with the previous
answer, this slight variation has me stumped (not hard to do)

TableA
A_ID  integer
Text varchar(100);

TableB
B_ID      integer
A_ID      integer
Price       integer
Changed TIMESTAMP

For every A_ID, I'd like the latest price (deduced by 'Changed') from
Table_B.  There could be multiple(or zero) entries for A_ID in TableB.

I need the following columns:  A.A_ID,  A.Text,  B.Price, B.Changed

where  B.Price, B.Changed are the most recent entry in Table B.

I can guess that the query should have a max and possibly some 'group by'
statements, but it's knowing where to put them.  Any hints greatly
appreciated.

TIA

David
