SELECT data.* FROM
(SELECT MAX(sendtime) AS sendtime
FROM data
WHERE 1 IN (sender,receiver)
GROUP BY IF (1 = sender,receiver,sender)) AS latest
LEFT JOIN data ON latest.sendtime = data.sendtime AND 1 IN (data.sender, data.receiver)
GROUP BY IF (1 = data.sender,data.receiver,data.sender)
Eu recomendo usar o ID de sequência exclusivo em sua tabela para evitar
GROUP BY
externo .Se você tiver incrementado message_id
exclusivo (ou seja, message_id
maior corresponde ao sendtime
posterior ), a consulta seria muito mais simples:SELECT data.* FROM
(SELECT MAX(message_id) AS message_id
FROM data
WHERE 1 IN (sender,receiver)
GROUP BY IF (1 = sender,receiver,sender)) AS latest
LEFT JOIN data USING(message_id)
