Understanding the Latest Date When Position Was Changed or Tagged to an Employee in SQL
Understanding the Problem and its Requirements ===================================================== In this article, we will delve into a SQL query to return the latest date when the column has changed. We are given a table per_all_assignments_m with columns such as position_id, eff_start_Date, and effective_end_date. The problem statement asks us to write a SQL query that can fetch another column, cur_eff_dt, from this table. The cur_eff_dt should be the last date when the position was changed or tagged to an employee.
