I have a requirement to select the effective exchange rate for a

getting this to work but cannot seem to get the last bit figured
out.  Thus my appeal for help.


Here is what I have so far:

SELECT
        fxr.currency_code_base      AS fx_base,
        fxr.currency_code_quote     AS fx_quote,
        fxr.effective_from          AS fx_date,
        fxr.currency_exchange_type  AS fx_type,
        fxr.currency_exchange_rate  AS fx_rate

FROM
        currency_exchange_rates AS fxr

LEFT OUTER JOIN
        currency_exchange_rates AS fxr_j

ON
        fxr.currency_code_base     =  fxr_j.currency_code_base
  AND
        fxr.currency_code_quote    =  fxr_j.currency_code_quote
  AND
        fxr.currency_exchange_type =  fxr_j.currency_exchange_type
  AND
        fxr.effective_from         >= fxr_j.effective_from

WHERE
        fxr.currency_code_base  =   'CAD'
  AND
        fxr.effective_from      <=  current_timestamp

GROUP BY
        fx_base,
        fxr.currency_code_quote,
        fx_date,
        fxr.currency_exchange_type,
        fx_rate

HAVING
        COUNT(fxr.currency_code_quote)  = 1

ORDER BY
        fx_base,
        fxr.currency_code_quote,
        fx_date DESC



I see currency_code_base = 'CAD', so you are looking for the most recent Canadian exchange rate.

What field is the source? currency_code_quote?
