mysql - SQL: how to group by max date -


i'm pretty new sql, please excuse seems should basic query. i've been searching , trying convert other similar answer's code make mine work, can't seem right.

i have 2 tables. tables linked via unique employee id(emplid). table 1(job) houses various job related information title , table 2(title_changes) houses promotion actions, reasons, , dates. need develop query returns * both job , title_changes tables based on recent title_changes date.

fyi not mirror actual table data. oversimplifying make easier explain.

it should return:  emlpid |     title    |titledate   |titlechnagereason|requested_date  12345  |  specialist 2| 02/01/2015|      merit       |01/31/2015  job table       emplid    |         title       | title date   ---------+---------------+----------------+    12345      |  specialist 2       | 02/01/2015        --------+----------------+----------------    12345      |  specialist 1       | 09/01/2014   --------+----------------+----------------    44576      |  analyst 3          | 05/01/2015   --------+----------------+----------------    44576      |  analyst 2          | 03/01/2014   --------+---------------------+-----------    title_changes table    emplid    | title change reason | requested_date   ------------+---------------------+----------------+    12345      |  merit              | 01/31/2015   ------------+---------------------+----------------    12345      |  newhire            | 08/30/2014   ------------+---------------------+----------------    44576      |  promotion          | 04/30/2015   ------------+---------------------+----------------    44576      |  newhire            | 02/28/2014   ------------+---------------------+----------------

try query

select j.emplid,  substring_index(group_concat(j.title order j.titledate desc),',',1) title, substring_index(group_concat(j.titledate order j.titledate desc),',',1) title_date,  substring_index(group_concat(tc.titlechnagereason order tc.requested_date desc),',',1) title_change_reson, substring_index(group_concat(tc.requested_date order tc.requested_date desc),',',1) request_date, job j join title_changes tc on(tc.emplid = j.emplid) group j.emplid
