From:		Devils
Hi, I have proble to find the number of single record in a table. e.g. field A | field B 111 | 1/10/2005 111 | 2/10/2005 222 | 2/10/2005 333 | 2/10/2005 222 | 3/10/2005 I want to know how many record first exist at 2/10/2005. The result should be 2. i.e. 111 first exist is 1/10/2005 -> not count 222 first exist is 2/10/2005 -> count 333 first exist is 2/10/2005 -> count Can you help how to do this? Regards, Devils

  I haven't tried this, but something like:
  
  select fielda,fieldb from table
  where fieldb = '2/10/2005' and
  fielda not in( select fielda from table
  where fieldb < '2/10/2005')

  Obviously you'd need count() too :).

  the query could be:
  select count(fielda) from table where fieldb = '2005-02-10'
