Hi,

I have read up quite a lot before posting this message so please bear with me if this question is trivial. I have table which stores session information of users. I have to develop a report which gives me the number of times users have logged in ( which is straightforward ) as well as their last access time.

Since every user has multiple records in the table, I was trying to find a way to get me just one row per user which returns the latest date, rather than checking for the latest date in the client logic.

Is there any function in Oracle which would return the latest date ?

Thank You,

Gavin
