Answer 1

Try something like this:

DB::table('share_details')
->crossJoin('parameters'
->select('share_details.id', 'share_type', 'para_int_1', 'para_int_2', 'price', 'para_name')
->where('para_type','=','share')
->where('para_id','=',DB::raw('share_type'))
->where('startDate','=',function($query) {
    $query->from('share_details')
        ->select(DB::raw("'max'(startdate))
        ->where('share_type','=',DB::raw('s.share_type'));
})
->groupBy('share_type','share_details.id','para_int_1','para_int_2','price','para_name')
->get();
