I want to select the latest two records for a member.

The table is

Key is
member_id varchar2(5)
member_date date

There can be multiple records for a member_id with a different date. How can I select the latest two rows. (just two rows for a member_id)

Thanks

select * from emp where member_date >=
(select member_date from emp a where 1 =
(select count(distinct (member_date)) from emp b where b.member_date > a.member_date)
and rownum and member_date IS NOT NULL)

Let me know if this solves ur problem. I assume the member date is generated using sysdate ....

this will give the last 2 rows inserted and if u wanna do for particular member u can add that in the Query like (where member_id = XXX ) after the final line...

Thanks

Also you can Try this:-

SELECT max(A.COL1) first,max(B.COL1) second
FROM
TEST A,
TEST B
WHERE B.COL1
***col1 is a date field
