Re: left outer join only select newest record

Gary,

You describe two tables vehicle stock and tax requests. The former has a
one-to-many relationship wit the second one, right?

But your query involves stock details and used_diary.

What is the relationship of these two new tables to the previous ones?

Could you please kindly supply an example of what you have and of the
desired output? For me it would be easier...

Best,
Oliver
