How about: select some_data from the_table order by the_date ASC limit 1
? -----Message d'origine----- De : Solsberry, Glendon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoye : vendredi 5 juillet 2002 16:52 A : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : MIN/MAX Date Field Is there a way to select some data from a table where the date field is the MIN() of that date column? Aka, if I have 100 rows of data, and the MIN() date is 1/1/2000, then I want to select the data that is from 1/1/2000. Can this be done without doing a multi-table join, or is that the only way to handle this???
