SELECT * FROM `staff` as t1 group by `name`,age,department,type,create_time

having create_time = (select max(create_time) from staff as t2 where t2.name=t1.name ) #group by t2.name

;

解析：group by是先按`name`,age,department,type,create_time 进行分组，分完组后having对每个分组里面按照create_time进行过滤，最后得到每个name的最新一条记 录；也就行有多少个分组分组就要执行多少遍 having create_time = (select max(create_time) from staff as t2 where t2.name=t1.name ) 语句，select max(create_time) from staff as t2 where t2.name=t1.name 查询的数据源是从全表中通过name进行过滤后，再查找最大的一条。

思考：可以把having后面的所有create_time都换成id看看结果对比一下

另一种通过子查询的实现方式：

SELECT * FROM

(

select * from staff order by create_time desc

) as t1 group by `name`;
