Django orm get latest for each group
I believe this would give you the student and the data
Score.objects.values('student').annotate(latest_date=Max('date'))
If you want the full Score
records, it seems you will have to use a raw SQL query: Filtering Django Query by the Record with the Maximum Column Value
If your DB is postgres which supports distinct()
on field you can try
Score.objects.order_by('student__username', '-date').distinct('student__username')
This should work on Django 1.2+ and MySQL:
Score.objects.annotate(
max_date=Max('student__score__date')
).filter(
date=F('max_date')
)
