Imagine I have the following data:

TimeStamp | Person | Data1
-------------------------------
1         | Doug   | X
2         | Doug   | Y
2         | Fred   | A
3         | Doug   | Z
4         | Fred   | B

How do I set all Data1 values for each person to the _first_ value
that was seen for them (X for all Doug Data1 values, A for all Fred Data1
values)?

update tableName set data1 =
   (select data1 from tableName t2 where t2.Person=tableName.Person
    order by t2.TimeStamp limit 1);
