Hello,

Hoping someone can help me with this...I'm pulling data from 2 tables: Employment and Job. The Job table has multiple effective dates (effdt), so when I run the statement, I'm getting ALL the rows, and I want only the most recent record. I've been playing around with "select max" and I can't seem to get it right....can you?? Also, I had to add distinct to the select, otherwise each effdt was appearing twice. Thanks in advance for your help!

select distinct e.emplid, e.check_voucher_ind, j.empl_status, j.effdt
from ps_employment e, ps_job j
where e.emplid = j.emplid
and j.emplid = '105917'
order by check_voucher_ind

Results are:
EMPLID Check_voucher_ind Status effdt
105917 N A 11/03/2003 00:00:00
105917 N A 06/03/2004 00:00:00
105917 N A 07/03/2004 00:00:00
