You're mistaken about that. The B.Pkey value comes from the last record in the group not from the record with the MAX MyDate. You'll get correct result only if the records in the b.fkey group are ordered physicaly by MyDate in the B table.

>in SQL Server, however, I must group on both A.PKey, and B.Pkey - so question - how can I get from SQL Server a result set like

Try

select A.pkey, B.Pkey, b.MyDate 
     from a join b on b.fkey = a.pkey 
         WHERE b.mydate = ( SELECT max(MyDate) FROM b bb 
             WHERE bb.fkey = a.pkey)
