Hello, I am trying to return the most recently updated record from a table: SELECT max(stopdate) FROM auction; and this works but only returns the timestamp, however if I try to get another column with the aggregate it fails: SELECT title,max(stopdate) FROM auction; ERROR: Attribute auction.title must be GROUPed or used in an aggregate function Ok, so I group it now: SELECT title,max(stopdate) FROM auction GROUP BY title; title | max ---------------+------------------------ dfsdfsdf | 2000-07-10 05:00:00+02 dssdfsdfsdfsf | 2000-07-09 16:00:00+02 sdfsdfsdfsdf | 2001-04-10 15:00:00+02 (3 rows) But the problem is that I now get three rows when I only want the max() item. How should I do it? Thanks in advance, -- Louis-David Mitterrand - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.apartia.fr "Logiciels libres : nourris au code source sans farine animale."
