Howdy, Zied.

The query below outputs the results as you want, but
I suspect you have a more general situation you want to solve.
If you have more than one father, say "manuel", you would want something like 
this ?

num  father  child     age
1       joe     bruce    14
                   lei         10
                   mike     5
2    manuel  child1    35
                  child2    33
                  child3   30

Confirm, please .
Also, do you want the output ordered by age? always?

If so , tell me and we can tweak a little the query to best-fit your needs

Best,
Oliveiros


SELECT a.num,a.father,b.child,b.age
FROM
(
SELECT num,father, MAX(age)as maximo
FROM t1
GROUP BY num,father) a
RIGHT JOIN t1 b
ON b.age = a.maximo

  Hi Everybody..

  Let's present my problem:

  I have a table named t1 and i will insert differents values like this :

  insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','bruce','14',); 
  insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','lei','10',); 
  insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','mike','5',); 

  when i use select * from t1 i obtain:

  num  father  child     age
  1       joe     bruce    14
  1       joe     lei         10
  1       joe     mike     5


  i want to have 

  num  father  child     age
  1       joe     bruce    14
                     lei         10
                     mike     5

  what can i do as select request to obtain this capture?

  Thanks :)
