SQL を使用して、指定されたレコード ID の最新の歴史的位置を効率的に取得するにはどうすればよいですか?

SELECT t1.received_id
     , t1.transaction_id
     , t1.date_modified
     , l.location
  FROM transactions t1
  JOIN ( SELECT received_id, MAX(date_modified) maxmodify FROM transactions GROUP BY received_id) max_record
    ON max_record.received_id = t1.received_id 
   AND max_record.maxmodify = t1.date_modified
  JOIN locations l
    ON l.location_id = t1.location_id
  JOIN received r
    ON r.received_id = t1.received_id
 WHERE t1.received_id = '1782'
 ORDER 
    BY t1.date_modified DESC

SELECT x.*
  FROM my_table x
  JOIN (SELECT id,MAX(thing) max_thing FROM my_table GROUP BY id) y 
    ON y.id = x.id 
   AND y.max_thing = x.thing;
