I have a table where I store changes made to an order. The looks like

Some ProdIDs have multiple records.
Is there an easy way to delete all records of a ProdID except the
most
recent (ChangeDate is timestamp) one? Preferably in one SQL statement?
delete from table_name where exists (select * from table_name x where
x.prodid = table_name.prodid and x.changedate > table_name.changedate);
this should work.
