Hi there,
I am trying to figure out how to flatten the result set of a join
query using aggregate functions. For several fields (b.refering_url,
c.string, b.first_page, b.last_page) I need to pull out the _first_ or
_last_ item as ordered from the records returned from the join.
However,
I just noticed that MSAccess and SQL server support FIRST() and LAST()
functions. Is there an equivalent in MySQL? My research has come up
with nil so far.
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks Nestor,
I thought about that, but limit 1 doesn't work in my scenario as I want
to access both the FIRST() and LAST() column for a result set
simultaneously. By telling MySQL to limit to 1, I could get the first,
but not the last. I want mysql to give me the first, drop everything in
Thanks Nestor!
I think I am almost there. However, how can I limit the result of a
JOIN in a query, and not the entire result set? For example:
SELECT
*
FROM
a
JOIN
b
ON
a.id = b.id
If I wanted all records from a and only the first record from b, how
would I integrate a LIMIT
