I've got a mysql table and I need to perform a complex query on it, but I'm not sure how to formulate it.
This is what I need to do: select id,tcc_cn,entered,updated,enteredby,num_bump, status FROM book_hold WHERE 1) There are no books with the tcc_cn that already have a status of 'NOTIFIED'. 2) Its updated date is the MIN(updated) for that tcc_cn. So, for example, if I have the following items: tcc_cn updated status ------------------------- 990227 03-08-02 WAITING 990227 03-10-02 WAITING 990228 03-08-02 WAITING 990228 03-15-02 NOTIFIED I would get information back for this item: 990227 03-08-02 WAITING Is there a good way to do this in one or two queries? Any tips would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
