In that case, try this:
SELECT o.*, ol.ol_timestamp, ol.ol_user
FROM orders AS o
INNER JOIN orders_log AS ol
ON ol.o_id = o.o_id
WHERE ol.ol_timestamp = (SELECT MAX(ol_timestamp) FROM orders_log AS ol2 WHERE ol2.o_id = o.o_id);
This will omit orders that have never been logged. You have not
specified what you want done with them.
