How about this? Select e.eventid, min(ed.eventdate) from events e inner join eventdates ed on ed.eventid=e.eventid Where ed.eventdate > getdate() Group by eventid
-----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 4:56 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Query Question I have 2 tables, for the sake of simplification lets say they look like this: EVENT eventID eventName EVENTDATES eventID eventDate Each event would be in the event table once, and possibly multiple times in the eventDates table. I want to have a query return one record for each event with the next eventDate from the eventDates table. So basically something like: Select eventID, eventName, eventDate from event inner join eventDates on event.eventID=eventDates.eventID where eventDate>#Now()# But I only want 1 record returned for each event. I know I can probably order by eventID and then do a cfoutput groupby, but I don't really want all those records coming back (I mean it will basically be number of records in the event table * number of records in the eventDates table). Is there a more efficient way of doing this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:224408 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
