Hi,

I don't seem to grasp the anwser on this problem. I've got a table with points, place_id's and distance between points and place_id. I want to select the points and place_id with smallest distance. I've tried statemeants like this but with no results that I like:

Select points, place_id, distance from table
group by points, place_id, distance
having points= (select points from table having distance = (select min(distance) from table)

The only result I'm getting is the min value of distance. I want to have the points, place_id with distance = min(distance). Any suggestions?
