Re: get only rows for latest version of contents

Thx a lot Chris.

In fact the correct SQL was (rewritten with inner join because of it is
required by my api):

select b1.*
from business b1
inner join (select idnode,max(version_no) as version_no from business           group by idnode) as b2
on b1.idnode = b2.idnode and  (b1.version_no = b2.version_no or b2.version_no is null)

Regards,
Seb.
