SELECT i.number, c.name, c.address, i.id, c.address
FROM customer c
JOIN (SELECT number, id, customerid
rowno = row_number() OVER(PARTITION BY customerid
ORDER BY date DESC)
FROM invoices) AS i ON i.customerid = c.id
WHERE i.rowno = 1
ORDER BY c.i
This is what I ended up using ... Worked Perfectly and performs better
then what I had ...
Thanks Much
