It really looks like brain squeezing will be needed in this case :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. Interesting solution but let me tell you more. In fact I should've given you more information to begin with. My bad.

So like I said original cursor cursor contains primary keys.

From that cursor I need to search for dates that are in another cursor. I need to get the most recent dates. Let's say 3 most recent dates.

Cursor EmployeeId
Contains primary keys for the employees that need to be searched.
One field only : Primary key

Cursor WasHere
Contains all the dates the employees were here.
Field could be : EmployeeId and DateEmployeeWasHere (format for date is YMD)


Content of cursor EmployeeId
124
52

Content of cursor WasHere

124 2015/01/01
124 2014/01/01
124 2013/01/01
124 2016/01/01
52 2015/02/02
52 2014/02/02
52 2013/02/02
52 2016/02/02

The result that I want is :

124 2016/01/01
124 2015/01/01
124 2014/01/01
52 2016/02/02
52 2015/02/02
52 2014/02/02
