   Retrieving database record with the lowe

   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.
