I tried that Peter and for some reason it's still selecting the oldest
date not the newest??? Seems odd? Also I'd really like to just select
id because I'll be using this in a subselect.
Thanks!

Hey all
I would guess this would be a pretty simple question.
How do I select a row whose value for a given column is the greatest
or the least or whatever for that table?
e.g:
select * from table where creation_date > all_other_creation_dates;
Hope
It's actually pretty easy -
select * from table order by creation_date desc limit 1
Now one catch to this use of LIMIT is that you only get one row - even
if there are multiple rows that share the same greatest creation_date.
Sometimes that's acceptable, sometimes not.
