[thelist] SQL trouble

Hi Anthony
Thanks for the excellent advice! One thing, though: While the 'all status of 3' query works (and returns 2 records), leaving off the WHERE clause reports all batches have a current status of 1. When a batch is created it gets a status of 1 then other records accrue with differing statuses
The results show that the query is selecting the correct history record (by its id) but displaying the status of a different history record
That seems to me to be really weird. I must be missing something; maybe the 14 hour day is starting to take its toll
Cheers
Dan

Here's one possible solution (Rudy might slap me down):
(This assumes you are using auto-increment for the id - the largest id for a batch is always the current history.)
select all current status...
select batches.id, batches.uniq, max(history.id) from batches join history on batches.id = history.id group by batches.id, batches.uniq
select all status of 3...
select batches.id, batches.uniq, max(history.id) from batches join history on batches.id = history.id where history.status = 3 group by batches.id, batches.uniq
