mysql - SQL, know last value saved on a table of a few parameters -

i have table like:

+----------+--------------+---------+ | name     | date         | value   | +----------+--------------+---------+ |        | 2015-06-01   |      32 |  |  b       | 2015-06-01   |      33 |  |  c       | 2015-06-01   |      34 |  |        | 2015-06-03   |      24 |  |        | 2015-06-02   |      30 |  |  b       | 2015-06-05   |      45 |  |  b       | 2015-06-02   |      65 |  |        | 2015-05-29   |      31 |  |        | 2015-05-28   |      57 |  |  c       | 2015-06-02   |      58 |  +----------+--------------+---------+ 

i need mysql query returns me:

+----------+---------+  | name     | value   | +----------+---------+ |        |      24 | |  b       |      45 | +----------+---------+ 

it means, query has return specific name (a & b in example) last value (more recent date) saved name ( on 3d june 24 , b on 5th june 45).

is possible?

thanks.

this should give desired result

 select b.name, (select value mytable a.name = b.name order date desc limit 1)   mytable b     -- b.name in ('a', 'b')      group b.name
