Please write DDL and not narrative. here is my guess at what you are trying to do. What you posted was not a table because you had no key. TEXT is not the datatype to use for names -- unless they are thousand of characters long!! Recording age as an integer is useless -- give us the birthday and we can always compute their age. Is this what you meant to post?
CREATE TABLE People (name CHAR(30) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, -- not big enough for TEXT age INTEGER NOT NULL, -- should be birthdate instead company CHAR(30) NOT NULL); >> ... create a query than get me a list with the seniors per company, for example :<< SELECT P1.name, P1.age, P1.company FROM People AS P1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM People AS P2 WHERE P1.company = P2.company AND P1.age < P2.age); This says there is nobody older than the P1 person in the same company. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
