You missed the key idea about how to use DISTINCT ON. SELECT DISTINCT ON (email_broadcast_id) * FROM email_broadcast_history ORDER BY email_broadcast_id, date_sent DESC You order by the DISTINCT ON fields, then one or more additional fields to select the representative row you want within each DISTINCT ON group. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
