How do I code a SQL SELECT statement so that always only this record is retrieved which matches a certain criteria AND has the lowest ID (= value in key field aaa)?

It must me something like

SELECT * FROM .... WHERE somefield='somevalue' AND aaa=lowestkey(column(aaa))

As a result either zero or at most 1 record should be passed back.
