Re: [SQL] Am I crazy or is this SQL not possible

[Yasir Malik]

select max(date_sent) from table;
would equal
select date_sent from broadcast_history order by date_sent DESC limit 1;
That sounds like a hack.  Is limit a SQL-99 standard?  Is there are 
another way to do this?
Sorry to take over your topic, Collin.

Thanks,
Yasir
