Hmmm..... Don't really get that query working. My SQL looks like this
now:

SELECT
id_country,
year,
value
FROM
internet_users
NATURAL JOIN
gdp
WHERE
id_country = 8
ORDER BY
year
LIMIT
1

But there is no result.

My table looks like this (for each variable one table):

id_country year value
4 1980 6.6
4 1981 7.0
...
6 1980 5.1

Thanks for any advice!

Stef
