SQL Statement - query a recordset with the most recent date

I am writing a view in an Oracle 9 database and I am at a dead end. I am trying to solve this: A_WPD_ADDRESS_HISTORY contains an FK called WPD_PLAN_CHECK_S, and this view contains several addresses for this FK. I am trying to get the latest address for WPD_PLAN_CHECK_S (FK). You should use the FIRST_INSERTED column, which is the date / time when this row was inserted first, and call the aggregate function MAX () on it, but all I know at the moment, and thus I'm at a dead end .

The following are two key points that I think are needed to understand this issue. Other tables / views are not relevant to this problem for what I'm trying to solve now.

Below: the main view that I am trying to get the most recent address record.

SELECT
  awa.wpd_address_history_s,
  wpc.wpd_plan_check_s,
  wpc.pcis_display,
  awa.street_num,
  awa.street_frac,
  awa.street_prefix,
  awa.street_name,
  awa.street_type_l_s,
  awa.street_suffix,
  awa.street_unit_l_s,
  awa.street_unit_num,
  awa.cross_streets,
  awa.city,
  awa.state,
  awa.state_l_s,
  awa.zip,
  awa.zip_ext,
  awa.zip_with_ext,
  wf.ind_id,
  wpc.wpd_status_l_s,
  wsl.wpd_status_desc,
  awa.location as LOCATION, 
  wc.contact_name     
FROM
  wpd_plan_check wpc
  LEFT OUTER JOIN a_wpd_address_history awa ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = awa.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_contact  wc   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wc.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_facility wf   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wf.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_status_l wsl  ON wpc.wpd_status_l_s = wsl.wpd_status_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_type_l stl ON awa.street_type_l_s = stl.street_type_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_unit_l sul ON awa.street_unit_l_s = sul.street_unit_l_s

The most common solution would be something like

SELECT
  awa.wpd_address_history_s,
  wpc.wpd_plan_check_s,
  wpc.pcis_display,
  awa.street_num,
  awa.street_frac,
  awa.street_prefix,
  awa.street_name,
  awa.street_type_l_s,
  awa.street_suffix,
  awa.street_unit_l_s,
  awa.street_unit_num,
  awa.cross_streets,
  awa.city,
  awa.state,
  awa.state_l_s,
  awa.zip,
  awa.zip_ext,
  awa.zip_with_ext,
  wf.ind_id,
  wpc.wpd_status_l_s,
  wsl.wpd_status_desc,
  awa.location as LOCATION, 
  wc.contact_name     
FROM
  wpd_plan_check wpc
  LEFT OUTER JOIN a_wpd_address_history awa ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = awa.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_contact  wc   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wc.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_facility wf   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wf.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_status_l wsl  ON wpc.wpd_status_l_s = wsl.wpd_status_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_type_l stl ON awa.street_type_l_s = stl.street_type_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_unit_l sul ON awa.street_unit_l_s = sul.street_unit_l_s
WHERE awa.first_inserted = (SELECT MAX(awa2.first_inserted)
                             FROM a_wpd_address_history awa2
                            WHERE awa.wpd_plan_check_s = awa2.wpd_plan_check_s)

However, it is probably more efficient to do something similar using analytic functions, so you only need to click on the view once.

WITH awa AS (
  SELECT awa_inner.*, 
         RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY wpd_plan_check_s ORDER BY first_inserted DESC) rnk
    FROM a_wpd_address_history awa_inner
)
SELECT
  awa.wpd_address_history_s,
  wpc.wpd_plan_check_s,
  wpc.pcis_display,
  awa.street_num,
  awa.street_frac,
  awa.street_prefix,
  awa.street_name,
  awa.street_type_l_s,
  awa.street_suffix,
  awa.street_unit_l_s,
  awa.street_unit_num,
  awa.cross_streets,
  awa.city,
  awa.state,
  awa.state_l_s,
  awa.zip,
  awa.zip_ext,
  awa.zip_with_ext,
  wf.ind_id,
  wpc.wpd_status_l_s,
  wsl.wpd_status_desc,
  awa.location as LOCATION, 
  wc.contact_name     
FROM
  wpd_plan_check wpc
  LEFT OUTER JOIN awa               ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = awa.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_contact  wc   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wc.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_facility wf   ON wpc.wpd_plan_check_s = wf.wpd_plan_check_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN wpd_status_l wsl  ON wpc.wpd_status_l_s = wsl.wpd_status_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_type_l stl ON awa.street_type_l_s = stl.street_type_l_s
  LEFT OUTER JOIN street_unit_l sul ON awa.street_unit_l_s = sul.street_unit_l_s
WHERE awa.rnk = 1

This is a lot of SQL to digest.

Try something like this in the example table:

desc foo;
key1    integer
key2    integer
bar_date date
foo_text varchar(255)


select a.*
from foo a
where a.bar_date = (
  select max(b.bar_date)
  from foo b
  where b.key1 = a.key1
    and b.key2 = a.key2
);
