Hello I have simple query here that seems to be giving uneeded info and I am hoping that some mysql pros know whats going on here. Basically I want the first query to show the second results. We choose a distinct a.oprid and if we leave out the "order by a.effdttime desc" the query gives what I want, but when adding it, I get extra info thats uneeded. If you need more info please reply as I hope I put everything needed here Thanks
select distinct a.oprid, a.id, b.firstname, b.lastname, b.work_note, client_status, b.work_dt time from oprid_client_history a, cust b where a.id=b.custid and a.oprid='david' and a.effdttime >= curdate() order by a.effdttime desc oprid id firstname lastname work_note client_status work_dt ----- -- --------- -------- --------- ------------- ---------- david 23813 Marie Francis Call Discover A 2002-05-19 david 1 David Potter II ok bye ok LW 2003-05-10 david 1 David Potter II ok bye ok LW 2003-05-10 david 1 David Potter II ok bye ok LW 2003-05-10 david 1 David Potter II ok bye ok LW 2003-05-10 david 1 David Potter II ok bye ok LW 2003-05-10 david 21116 Cherada Bressler selling!
