How can Oracle retrieve data with the latest date?
To retrieve data with the latest date, you can use the following method:
- Sort the data table in descending order by date using the ORDER BY clause and DESC keyword. For example:
SELECT * FROM your_table
ORDER BY date_column DESC;
This will return all data sorted in descending order by date.
- To obtain just the latest date entry, you can combine the use of ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses. For example:
SELECT * FROM your_table
ORDER BY date_column DESC
LIMIT 1;
This will return one piece of data sorted by the most recent date in descending order.
Please note that in the above query example, “your_table” and “date_column” need to be replaced with the actual table name and date column name.
