    Select first type problem...

    Hi,

    I have a table called opportunity, included within this table are a opclosed
    (date) , a companyid (integer) and some other columns.

    There are many opportunity records per companyid . I am only interested in
    closed opportunities i.e select * from opportunity where opclosed is not
    null

    The problem for me is I only need the latest opportunity for each company. -
    returning back only the opportunityid. I am pulling my hair out trying to
    figure out how to do it without going down the route of a cursor etc...

    some Data:

    ID Closed Data, CompanyID
    61 2005-11-14 36
    57 2005-11-14 37
    59 2005-11-12 37
    60 2005-11-13 37
    63 2005-11-13 41

    In the above example I would like to display a resultset of IDs= 61,57 and
    63

    Any pointers or help would be most appreciated.

    kind regards

    Mike
