That's getting too complicated. It can be done simply as: SELECT DISTINCT(test.people.id) test.people.id, test.people.name, test.likes.ref FROM test.people LEFT JOIN test.likes ON test.people.id = test.likes.ref ORDER BY test.people.id, test.likes.date DESCENDING Assuming people.id is unique, the order by clause makes the first row of every group the most recent like and distinct expression keeps only the first row for each person.
