1st Row in Group By vs. Last Row

Question

Wondering how to return the 1st row in a MySQL group by vs. the last row. Returning a series of dates, but need the first one displayed.

select * from calendar w         


        

Answer 1

If you want to show the first AND the last element of a group-by statement, this was useful for me:

SELECT min(date) AS minn, max(date) AS maxx 
FROM table_name
GROUP BY occasion

Thanks for the question
