Eliminating duplicate values based on only one column of the table

This is where the window function row_number() comes in handy:

SELECT s.siteName, s.siteIP, h.date
FROM sites s INNER JOIN
     (select h.*, row_number() over (partition by siteName order by date desc) as seqnum
      from history h
     ) h
    ON s.siteName = h.siteName and seqnum = 1
ORDER BY s.siteName, h.date
