    Help with sql statement

    Please looking for help writing a sql statement. I have a table with the following columns

    Seller Name
    Buyer Name
    Buyer Address
    Buyer City
    Buyer State
    Buyer Zip
    Sale Date
    Unit Number
    Complex Name

    The table contains all of the past and present owners of condos in different complexes. How can I write a statement which pulls out all of the present owners (Buyer Name, Buyer Address, etc) for a particular complex. I appreciate anyones help.

    What does Sale Date mean? Date when bought or date when sold?

    Sale Date is the date the property closed

    If no sales date, then the property has not sold. If not sold, then the current record where sales date is null should be what you are looking for.

    There will always be a sales date. The field will never be null.

    Given the fields you have listed, how would you decide who is a present owner and who isn't if you were looking at the table data?

    First get the max sale date by complex and unit
    Then get all the details you want.

    select Buyer_Name, Buyer_Address
    from table_name t
    ,(select complex_name, unit_number, max(sale_date)
    from table_name
    group by complex_name, unit_number) b
    where a.complex_name = b.complex_name
    and a.unit_number = b.unit_number
    and a.sale_date = b.sale_date
