There is a table which tracks changes made to an account
Account 
Number   Action  Date 
---------------------- 
1234     Open    11/01 
1234     Upgrade 11/02 
6666     Open    11/04 
1234     Close   11/05 
6666     Upgrade 11/05 
1234     ReOpen  12/02

Whats the query to get all accounts not closed(still open) on a given month?
In this case for month 11 it should return 6666
And for month 12, it should return 1234 and 6666
(Closed accounts can be opened again)
this table can have millions of entry on a given month.

help!!!

Post a test case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.

Also post what you already tried.

Regards

I'd try something along the lines of
SELECT id, case max_status when 1 then 'Open
                           when 2 then 'Closed'
                           end status
FROM (SELECT id, max(case status when 'Open' then 1
                                 when 'Closed then 2
                                 else 0
                                 end max_status
      FROM   table
      GROUP BY id)

[/CODE]

This may notbe enough as OP says

Rajuvan, you didn't understand, this is not a solution, this is a clue.

Well, I will be tempted to use the max keep dense_rank logic. It will be something like
select account_number
from
table
where date <= to_date('input_date','date_format')
group by account_number
having max(status) keep(dense_rank first order by date desc) != 'Close'

Combination of hints provided by JRowBottom and Rajaram will be better option.

ie Case + Max_keep_dense_rank combination.

Michel is too kind to me I'm afraid - I didn't see the part of the question about re-opening accounts.
