Oracle date coding returning min date value -


i have table returning 2 rows same data on including start date same both rows in question, there update date column different per row. how find 1 closest start date. e.g.

date 1 27/01/2014 date 2 27/01/2015 07:39:30 date 2 row 2 27/01/2015 11:30:51

there plenty of other columns involved these relevant ones, how return row earliest date? row containing 07:39:30 have tried using min function returning both rows.

how return row earliest date? row containing 07:39:30 have tried using min function returning both rows.

in oracle, date data type has both date , time portions. date function applied on date column give perfect result, unless have design issue. frequent design problems related storing date values string.

for example,

among below mentioned date values,

  • 27/01/2015 07:39:30
  • 27/01/2015 11:30:51

the min function on above mentioned date values return 27/01/2015 07:39:30.
