SELECT TOP 1   FROM foo ORDER BY Dates DESC   Will return one result with the latest date   SELECT   FROM foo WHERE foo Dates    SELECT MAX Dates  FROM foo    Will return all results that have the same maximum date  to the milissecond   This is for SQL Server  I ll leave it up to you to use the DATEPART function if you want to use dates but not times
