Howdy, Zied.
The query below outputs the results as you want, but
I suspect you have a more general situation you want to solve.
If you have more than one father, say "manuel", you would want something like this ?
num father child age
1 joe bruce 14
lei 10
mike 5
2 manuel child1 35
child2 33
child3 30
Confirm, please .
Also, do you want the output ordered by age? always?
If so , tell me and we can tweak a little the query to best-fit your needs
Best,
Oliveiros
SELECT a.num,a.father,b.child,b.age
FROM
(
SELECT num,father, MAX(age)as maximo
FROM t1
GROUP BY num,father) a
RIGHT JOIN t1 b
ON b.age = a.maximo

Hi Everybody..
Let's present my problem:
I have a table named t1 and i will insert differents values like this :
insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','bruce','14',);
insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','lei','10',);
insert into t1 (num,father,child,age) values ('1','joe','mike','5',);
when i use select * from t1 i obtain:
num father child age
1 joe bruce 14
1 joe lei 10
1 joe mike 5
i want to have
num father child age
1 joe bruce 14
lei 10
mike 5
what can i do as select request to obtain this capture?
Thanks :)
