Question

I have the following query, its only returning two records when i have three in the database- where am I going wrong?

SELECT items.id, items.link, items.title, items.image, lists.user 
FROM lists, items 
WHERE lists.user = '506161637' AND lists.item = items.id
GROUP BY lists.dated DESC LIMIT 0, 10000;

The data set of a join table is below but its only returning two records… Rows 19 and 17? maybe theres a better group function to use?

        id  user    item    dated
        19  506161637   8   2009-11-19
        18  506161637   6   2009-11-19
        17  506161637   5   2009-11-18

Answer 1

Remove the GROUP BY clause in your statement. This is grouping the ‘2009-11-19’ records together.
