You have several solutions. GROUP BY ID, COMPANY, COUNTRY HAVING COUNT(STATUS) > 1 is one. WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL .... WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND A.COMPANY = B.COMPANY AND A.COUNTRY = B.COUNTRY AND A.STATUS > B.STATUS) is another. I am sure you can also do something with MINUS or INTERSECT ... -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
