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`;
内连接方式实现：
select a.* from staff as a
INNER JOIN staff as b ON a.`name`=b.`name`
group by
a.`name`,
a.age,
a.id,
a.department,
a.create_time
having a.create_time = max(b.create_time)
还有一种实现方法：
SELECT a.*,max(a.gid) FROM linksus_gov_structure as a ,(select max(gid ) as gid from `linksus_gov_structure` group by account_id ) as b
where a.gid=b.gid
group by account_id
