retrieve user's nick and latest title according to dateposted

Apr 26th, 2007

Hi all

i have 2 DBs: Energy & Users

Users:
-id (pk)
-nick

Energy:
-id (pk)
-title
-userid (fk)
-dateposted

Description of workflow:
there are a number of titles in "Energy", and each user has more than 1 titles.

I would like to display Users's Nick, and LATEST TITLE (which is according to the dateposted).

How should i do it?

i tried:

select nick, energy.dateposted from users
join energy
on energy.userid = user.id

but the retrieved results = a list of records with the same nicks for few of the records.

something like that..
