Hello,

Here is a simple sample table:

mysql> SELECT * FROM test ;
+---------+-------------+------------+-------+------+
| id_date | id_activity | date | hours | type |
+---------+-------------+------------+-------+------+
| 1 | 1 | 2006-08-15 | 5 | C |
| 2 | 1 | 2006-10-01 | 3 | P |
| 3 | 2 | 2006-09-31 | 2 | C |
| 4 | 2 | 2006-10-01 | 5 | P |
+---------+-------------+------------+-------+------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I want the total of worked hours for an activity:

mysql> SELECT id_activity,date,SUM(heures) FROM test GROUP BY
id_activity;
+-------------+------------+------------+
| id_activity | date | SUM(hours) |
+-------------+------------+------------+
| 1 | 2006-08-15 | 8 |
| 2 | 2006-09-31 | 7 |
+-------------+------------+------------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Ok, that's right, but which is the 'date' selected here, the first according
the order in the id_date column ?

Now, I'd like to have the same result, but selecting the date associated
with the type 'P'. Is it possible ?

Is it also possible to do the same grouping, but displaying the first or
the last date (not the first or last in the table, the first or last in
the time...) ?

Many thanks,
