PostgreSQL - DISTINCT ON и GROUP BY синтаксис

За да можете да изберете всички колони, а не само object_id и MAX(event_timestamp) , можете да използвате DISTINCT ON

SELECT DISTINCT ON (object_id) 
    object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
FROM test_select 
ORDER BY object_id, event_timestamp DESC ;

Ако искате резултатите да са подредени по event_timestamp DESC а не по object_id , трябва да го включите в извлечена таблица или CTE:

SELECT *
FROM 
  ( SELECT DISTINCT ON (object_id) 
        object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
    FROM test_select 
    ORDER BY object_id, event_timestamp DESC 
  ) AS t
ORDER BY event_timestamp DESC ;

Като алтернатива можете да използвате прозоречни функции, като ROW_NUMBER() :

WITH cte AS
  ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY object_id 
                              ORDER BY event_timestamp DESC) 
             AS rn, 
           object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
    FROM test_select 
  )
SELECT object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 1
ORDER BY event_timestamp DESC ;

или агрегат MAX() с OVER :

WITH cte AS
  ( SELECT MAX(event_timestamp) OVER (PARTITION BY object_id) 
             AS max_event_timestamp, 
           object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
    FROM test_select 
  )
SELECT object_id, event_timestamp    ---, more columns
FROM cte
WHERE event_timestamp = max_event_timestamp
ORDER BY event_timestamp DESC ;
