SQL Question ... how to SETGT, READPE in SQL






Is there a simple way to select the last record in a series? Say the most

recent record of a set using a timestamp.

For example, a data base record with
id
time_stamp
data fields

In RPG one could create a logical file, or OPNQRYF with keys
id
time_stamp

To get the last record for each id one could

set id to *LOVAL
repeat until end of file
SETGT
READPE

Can you do this with SQL (hence with Java) ... or should you drop back to
relative record access with JT400?

Thanks all
