Hi,
I have a table with the following columns

NAME----------SAL------------LAST_UPDATE_DATE
ABC-----------500------------18-MAR-04
ABC-----------550------------20-MAR-04
ABC-----------700------------22-APR-04
XYZ-----------900------------15-JAN-04
XYZ-----------980------------22-FEB-04

out of the above data into this table, I need to query only most recent updated record based on the last_update_date.
How I can accomplish the query so I can get the following result

Query result
NAME----------SAL------------LAST_UPDATE_DATE
ABC-----------700------------22-APR-04
XYZ-----------980------------22-FEB-04

Thanks in advance.
