mysql describe mytable;

Further, I'd advise NOT using field names like date and key. Using
eserved words is never a good prcatice.

Try this:
select key_col, min(name), max(date_col)
from my_table
group by key_col ;
You could use max(name) instead of min(name) also, although
since the names can be misspelled, I don't see why it would matter
which name is displayed.
