Re: SQL - Select lowest

Oh...this works...I think...

with temp as (select * from michael/myduptable) select field1,
min(field2) from temp group by field1

Does this make sense?

Things like this confuse me until someone shows me how simple it is. :)
This is what I want to do:

with temp as (select * from michael/myduptable) select * from temp having
min(field2)

Here's the data:

FIELD1 FIELD2
1 ONE
2 TWOA
2 TWOB
3 THREE
4 FOURA
4 FOURB
4 FOURC

I want this:
1 ONE
2 TWOA
3 THREE
4 FOURA

I'm using a CTE table because the select that makes myduptable (in real
life) is complex, and I thought this would make it easier. Best holiday
wishes to anyone that can give me the answer. :)
