Finding Last record for custom
John Miller 
       
2 years ago
Hello all,
I am working on a database that has been around since 1999. they have a table of 1280 clients and 571000 orders. what I need to be able to do is find when a client placed their last order, in order to mark the client inactive. I have looked for a solution but can't find one. Can someone point me in the right direction. Many thanks in advance.

Or use Max() in an aggregate query.  E.g.:

     SELECT CustomerName, Max(OrderDate) FROM OrdersT
     GROUP BY CustomerName
     ORDER BY Max(OrderDate)

will return results like below, a list of customers with the latest order date of each, sorted by the oldest order date:

Happening Fashion Inc.   12/15/2006
Mae Farmer Fashion       12/15/2006
The Dunlap Company       12/29/2006
Young's Inc.              1/24/2007
Overon                    1/26/2007
J & D Clothiers            2/7/2007
