Thanks VERY VERY VERY much,
After the following modifications, it works exactly as I need.
SELECT users."User-Name",someq.login_date,someq.login_time FROM users LEFT
OUTER JOIN (SELECT "User-Name",max("Date") AS login_date,max("Time") AS
login_time FROM logs GROUP BY "User-Name") AS someq USING("User-Name");
THANKS!

Try
foo=# SELECT users.name,someq.mlast from users left outer join (select
id,max(last) as mlast from log group by id) as someq using(id);
substituting with your names.
