Hi All, I have a question for clearer brains than mine. I would like to join two tables,. There may be many possible joins in table B to table A, but I only want to join one row from B to table A - the row with the closest, but lesser date.
TABLE A Row Id date 1 46 3 Jan 7 20 10 Jan TABLE B Row Id date 4 46 1 Jan 5 46 2 Jan 6 46 4 Jan 8 20 8 Jan 10 20 7 Jan 11 20 9 jan Result Row 1` in A is joined to row 5 in B Row 7` in A is joined to row 11 in B SELECT a.row, b.row FROM A a LEFT JOIN B b ON (a.id = b.id AND a.date > b.date AND <the row with the max dates from the possible join in b>?) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Terry -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
