Hello,

I have a simple query, and a problem countless people must have had, I just
cannot work it out at the moment, I am new to MySQL; I hope you can help.

My current statement looking at the manual.
SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE age=MAX(age);

I started with:
mysql> select * from contacts where age=(select MAX(age) from contacts);


In escence I am trying to ascertain the details of the person who is oldest.

Any suggestions.?

Richard
