MySQL 区分最新记录成对分组

Question

我有 MySQL 表:

    id  author_id  recipient_id  message        message_time
    1   16         18            lorem ipsum1    2015-10-20 14:24:49
    2   18         16            lorem ipsum2    2015-10-21 11:14:51
    3   16         22            lorem ipsum3    2015-10-21 14:42:01
    4   18         16            lorem ipsum4    2015-10-21 16:53:55
    5   16         17            lorem ipsum5    2015-10-22 10:37:44

我只想获取最新的记录，但按对分组，例如:

    WHERE `author_id` = '$var' OR `recipient_id` = '$var'

我的预期结果:

    message        message_time
    lorem ipsum3    2015-10-21 14:42:01
    lorem ipsum4    2015-10-21 16:53:55
    lorem ipsum5    2015-10-22 10:37:44

我很乐意提供建议!

试试这个方法

select a.message, max(b.message_time) 
from yourTable a, yourTable b
where  a.author_id = $var OR a.recipient_id = $var
and a.id = b.id
group by a.message;
