Subject: [SQL] deciding on one of multiple results returned
If a query returns, say the following results:
id value
0 a
0 b
0 c
1 a
1 b
How do I just choose a preferred element say value 'a' over any other
elements returned, that is the value returned is from a subquery to a larger
query?
Thanks.
ORDER BY
(with a LIMIT depending on circumstances)
