Join using max value

I want to join two tables together but only join the where the column
in table 2 (of type date) is the maximum value. Is this possible?

Note table 1 is the main table it is also joined to other tables too.Hello,

Would something like this work?

select
*
from
table1 t1
join table2 t2 on t1.joinkey=t2.joinkey
where
t2.date = (select max(datefield) as max_date from table2)

constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, datatypes, etc. in your
schema are. Sample data is also a good idea, along with clear
specifications. It is a bitch to debug code that you cannot see.|||Actually, if you read his request, he is only asking if its possible.

So a simple YES, (sans any explanation of technique), would appear to
suffice.
