HAVING is only used to select groups and only works by chance in this
example but if the data were to change then it would likely not work.

Try this instead.  It makes use of an sqlite-specific feature that
guarantees that when MAX is used in a GROUP BY that the other columns
will be from the same row:

> sqldf("select ID, No, Change, max(Date) Date from k1 group by No")
  ID  No    Change       Date
1  D 111     final 2013-01-12
2  C 123 bug fixed 2013-01-17
