???? Why can't you just go: select code, id, name, date_of_service from tbl where xxx <= 29800 and xx >= 29909 and code='XX' and client_code='XX' order by id, date_of_service; Or use a between clause is nice: select code, id, name, date_of_service from tbl where xxx between 29800 and 29909 and code='XX' and client_code='XX' order by id, date_of_service; But seriously - your query above is referencing 'tbl' twice - is that correct, or is the tbl in the subselect supposed to be something different?
