Subject please help with group by and subselect
Author Michael Fung
Dear all,

I am sorry that my brain seems stuck with the following situation:

I have the following table to hold supplier price quotes:

PK SUPPLIER PRODUCT QUOTED_PRICE QUOTE_DATE
===== =========== ======== ============= ===========

75400 FRUITKING APPLE 2.00 2003-09-01
75500 GMASTER APPLE 1.8 2003-09-04
75600 QFOOD APPLE 2.5 2003-09-03
75700 QFOOD APPLE 1.3 2003-09-08
75800 QFOOD APPLE 1.8 2003-09-16
75900 GMASTER APPLE 0.9 2003-09-10
76000 GMASTER APPLE 0.7 2003-09-18
76100 FRUITKING APPLE 0.5 2003-09-17



Now I need to know latest quoted price from all suppliers, the result
should look like this:

SUPPLIER LAST_QUOTED_PRICE LAST_QUOTE_DATE
=========== ============= ===========
GMASTER 0.7 2003-09-18
FRUITKING 0.5 2003-09-17
QFOOD 1.8 2003-09-16


I know it can be done using two SQL statement in my program. But is
it possible to write *JUST ONE* SQL statement to complete the task? I
tried subselect and group by but failed.


TIA,
Michael
