I think this is similar to my recent question: you have a table where for one criteria (project) you can have more than one entry and you want a listing to return only the most [enter your second criteria here, in your case latest] one. As long as the second criteria is not something easy to put in a where clause*, i'm afraid the answer is the same one I got: upgrade to 4.1 and try to use subselects; or read all the data and process it in the client code; or do subsequent queries "by hand" to refine the output. *) By something NOT easy to put in a where clause I mean something like the most recent, the smallest, and so on. It would be nice if the WHERE clause would accept a max() or something along those lines (like saying "give me these rows WHERE column is the biggest/smallest"). :) But I guess that's what subselects were meant for. -- Skippy - Romanian Web Developers - http://ROWD.ORG -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
