Filtering rows to get only the latest value

Question

I have the following data in a table:

ORDERID, PRODUCT,  QUANTITY
1,       potatoes, 10
1,       oranges,  20
2,       apples,   10
2,       oranges,  15
3,       pears,    20
3,       peaches,  12

I would like to query the table to filter out repeated products (e.g. oranges), taking only the latest (higher ORDERID) value. This should then result in:

ORDERID, PRODUCT,  QUANTITY
1,       potatoes, 10
2,       apples,   10
2,       oranges,  15
3,       pears,    20
3,       peaches,  12

Answer 1

select  *

from   (select      t.*
                   ,row_number () over (partition by PRODUCT order by ORDERID desc) as rn

        from        mytable t
        )

where   rn = 1
