RE: Obtaining the last record for the day

Thanks for your reply Paul
I had an epiphany just after I sent the e-mail and I am heading down this same direction
The one thing missing from your example is the highest timestamp for the day, not just the highest timestamp

something like this:

select product, available_qty, time_stamp from myfile a where (product, time_stamp) in ( select product, max(time_stamp) from myfile b where b.product = a.product group by product);

Available_Qty
