); It contains the following records: 5003707G9G9419 22012BB 10-14-2004 82 5003707G9G9419 22012BC 10-14-2004 44 5003707G9G9419 22022BB 10-14-2004 82 5003707G9G9420 22022BC 10-18-2004 49 I'd like the result of the sql interogation to be like this: 5003707G9G9419 22012BB 10-14-2004 82 5003707G9G9420 22022BC 10-18-2004 49 Explanations: I want like sql interogation to select only one record from each "gc" group record (who has the same code "gc" (that means that the "gc" field will be unique key)) with the following two condition: 1)from each "gc" group of records to select the record who has the value of "ora" field maxim. 2)if two ore more record have the same value of the maxim value of the "ora" to select oly one of them Thanks! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
