OT : help needed with a mySQL request

[John Craig]

If I understrand correctly, you have data similar to below;

mysql> select * from data;
+----+------+------+
| id | name | year |
+----+------+------+
|  1 | John | 1972 |
|  2 | John | 2006 |
|  3 | John | 2010 |
|  4 | John | 2013 |
|  5 | Kyle | 2006 |
|  6 | Kyle | 2010 |
|  7 | Kyle | 2013 |
|  8 | Katy | 2013 |
+----+------+------+

and you only want the 'Katy' record.  Here's one possible query;

mysql> SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM data AS data2 WHERE name = 
data.name AND year < 2013) AS yCount FROM data WHERE year = 2013 HAVING 
yCount = 0;
+----+------+------+--------+
| id | name | year | yCount |
+----+------+------+--------+
|  8 | Katy | 2013 |      0 |
+----+------+------+--------+


:D
