--SQL查询如下:
--按GID分组,查每个分组中Date最新的前2条记录

--1.字段ID唯一时:
SELECT * FROM #T AS T WHERE ID IN(SELECT TOP 2 ID FROM #T WHERE GID=T.GID ORDER BY Date DESC)

--2.如果ID不唯一时:
SELECT * FROM #T AS T WHERE 2>(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #T WHERE GID=T.GID AND Date>T.Date)

--SQL Server 2005 使用新方法
--3.使用ROW_NUMBER()进行排位分组
SELECT ID,GID,Author,Title,Date
FROM
(
 SELECT rid=ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY GID ORDER BY Date DESC),*
 FROM #T
) AS T
WHERE rid<=2

--4.使用APPLY
SELECT DISTINCT b.*
FROM #T AS a
CROSS APPLY
(
 SELECT TOP(2) * FROM #T WHERE a.GID=GID ORDER BY Date DESC
) AS b
