> As you see above question id 25 appeared more than once. This is basically a quiz result table where for users as
theyanswered. question_id 25 always the first questions. Any user can go though the quiz N number of time. So, I want
tofind the last occurrence of the question_id 25 for any specific user in the table, and select that and all answers
theusers gave after this till the end of the quiz. Any idea how to solve it in a single efficient query. My all try
didn'twork out.
test=# create table quiz(id int, question_id int, user_id bigint);
CREATE TABLE
est=# select * from quiz order by id, question_id;
id | question_id | user_id
----+-------------+------------
2 | 25 | 5142670086
3 | 26 | NULL
4 | 26 | NULL
4 | 26 | NULL
5 | 27 | NULL

7 | 25 | 5142670086
8 | 25 | 5142670086
10 | 40 | 5142670086
11 | 29 | 5142670086
(10 rows)
test=# select
*
from
quiz
where
user_id = 5142670086
and
id >=
(select
max(id)
from
quiz
where
user_id = 5142670086
and
question_id = 25)
order by
question_id;
id | question_id | user_id
