Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> accessing tables explicitly by index
In Oracle, is there a way to access a single row based on a specific
index. Here's an example:
I have a table with a unique index made up from two columns, user_id,
time_stamp. There may be thousands of rows for each user_id. I want to
access the most recent row for a particular user_id without having to
read thousands of rows and finding the max time_stamp. How can this be
accomplished in Oracle?
