I would normally expect SQLite to give an error (misuse perhaps?) in a query like this since the right operand to the operator= must evaluate to a single value. Otherwise what value is taken? Is "order by" resolved before taking the first value? I'd resolve the ambiguity by an error rather than silently correcting the user's faults. Just my opinion, but please let me know if a different opinion favored the current behavior (i like to sync myself with this community!). In OracleSQL I get this kind of error: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row Simon _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
