mysql select latest by date for all with same name

I have a table with points by users:



id, created_at, user_id, points
1, 2018-11-01, 1, 20
2, 2018-11-03, 1, 12
3, 2018-11-04, 2, 15
...


I now want to select the top 50 users, but only considering the users latest points. i.e. user 1 has two entries and only the latest one (2018-11-03) should count.



expected result:



id, created_at, user_id, points
3, 2018-11-04, 2, 15
2, 2018-11-03, 1, 12
...

          In a Derived Table, you can the maximum values of created_at (latest created_at) for every user_id. You can then join this result-set to the main table, to get only the row corresponding to latest created_at.



          Now, use this result-set to sort on the points in Descending order and consider Top 50 only, using LIMIT 50



          SELECT t.*
          FROM your_table AS t
          JOIN
          ( SELECT
          user_id, MAX(created_at) AS latest_created_at
          FROM your_table
          GROUP BY user_id
          ) AS dt
          ON dt.user_id = t.user_id AND
          dt.latest_created_at = t.created_at
          ORDER by t.points DESC
          LIMIT 50

            You can try using correlated subquery



            select * from tablename a
            where created_at in
            (select max(created_at) from tablename b where a.user_id=b.user_id)
            order by points desc limit 50
