A few ways to do it:

1) Convert date/time to timestamp
2) Concat date & time into one field (either numerically or as char)
3) multiple steps - see example below

With tbl as (select fld1, fld2, logDate, max(logtime) as maxTimeforDate
             from file
             group by fld1, fld2, logDate
             )
Select fld1, fld2, max(logDate) as maxDate, maxTimeforDate
From tbl
Group by fld1, fld2, maxTimeForDate

Subject: [WDSCI-L] SQL getting record with last date/Time

 L      ADMIN_BW    HARLESSD    20060830   155855  
 U      ADMIN_BW    CHISOMT     20060831   143021  
 L      ADMIN_BW    CHISOMT     20060831   143250 

I need to do an sql select statement that will retrieve the 
highest date
in a file, but also the highest time for that particular date.  

Originally I was just getting the latest date with  a Select
max(logDate). 

I then tried knowing it wouldn't work  Select max(logdate),
max(logTime).  

In the above records I would want  20060831- 143250  
How would I accomplish this?
