RE: Query - 2nd Request Pls Help

Hello David

By using the following query i get:

cust_id item_code status from_date to_date

0001      AAAA       A      01-JAN-00   29-JAN-00
0001      AAAA       B      04-JAN-00   31-JAN-00
0002      BBBB       A      05-JAN-00   06-JAN-00

The reason its giving like this is because the min & max function will just show the start (min) * end (max) for that grouped columns, regardless if it changes in between. So, if the status for the same grouped column changes in between, min & max it will not show it. Need a query or work around to solve this problem

Thanks

salu
