There is a difference between a general, "how do I do this" question and a specific "here's my code, I can't find the bug" question. Sometimes people just need a quick answer specific to their code. Also, unfortunately, many times when people want to point to a resource they give the standard "RTFM". Believe it or not, many newbies don't always know how to do this!! A polite "it's too long to go into on the list, but you can read more about this here" with a link is much more helpful. -Lisi At 04:22 PM 11/6/02 +0100, Snijders, Mark wrote: >why does everybody always gives the answers?? why not a hint, or where to >search that they can learn something about it??? > > > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Marco Tabini [mailto:marcot@inicode.com] >Sent: woensdag 6 november 2002 16:08 >To: Terry Romine >Cc: php-db@lists.php.net >Subject: Re: sort by date > > >Ok, going out on a limb here... have you tried something like > >select e.id, title, location, address, contact, category, event_time, >urllink, descript, min(event_date) from eventTable e inner join >dateTable d on e.id = d.id group by e.id > >? > > >Marco > >-- >------------ >php|architect - The magazine for PHP Professionals >The first monthly worldwide magazine dedicated to PHP programmer > >Come visit us at http://www.phparch.com! > > > > >-- >PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) >To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
