Hmmm..... Don't really get that query working. My SQL looks like this
now:

SELECT
    id_country,
    year,
    value
FROM
   internet_users
NATURAL JOIN
   gdp
WHERE
    id_country = 8
ORDER BY
    year
LIMIT
    1

But there is no result.

My table looks like this (for each variable one table):

id_country            year                value
4                           1980               6.6
4                           1981               7.0
...
6                           1980               5.1


Thanks for any advice!
