SELECT rows with latest upload time per category using CodeIgniter's query builder
I am trying to find out the latest image uploaded in each of the categories of a website from the database where the structure of the database is:
tbl_cat:
- cat_id,
- cat_name,
- noi (no. of total images in that cat)
tbl_img:
- img_id,
- cat_id, img_path,
- imag_caption
Any idea how can I do it using query builder methods? I would also love to understand it with a raw SQL query.
