Adrian,

This is true as it has occurred. I want only the most recent activity row
associated with that person_id. (NB: while I'm really comfortable with DDL
statements my DML experience is seriously lacking and that's what I need to
improve now.)

I've just read a couple of blog posts on the LATERAL join added in 9.3 and
understand it in theory. Properly applying it to my application is now my
focus (and I need to re-read Andrew's example very closely.)

Best regards,

Rich
