Sql delete and append

Hi
I have a question on appending and deleting entries in mysql table.

This is my sample table. table name: details
Code:
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 14033 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 14756 | 15627 | 6255 | q |

I have numerous entries of same id name belonging to same median number.However,I want to only retain the entries having the longest first and end position and discard the remaining entries


For eg for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" AND median = 5 we have four entries
Code:
id_name | model | mode | media| first | end | id | level |
+--------------------+-------+---------+-----+-------+-------+--------+--------+
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14684 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 14838 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15236 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |

but I want to retain only the one having longest first and end points i.e

Code:
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |

Here ,since for id name ="PSK_30s1207681L002" & median = N we have only 1 entry I want retain that one.

My final table in mysql table should look like this.
Code:
id_name | model | mode | media| first | last | id | level |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 14026 | 15423 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | 1 | 1 | N | 14026 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 14033 | 15627 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1207681L002 | -1 | 1 | T0 | 15550 | 16050 | 6255 | q |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 999 | 7531 | 9808 | c |
| PSK_30s1189731L001 | -1 | 1 | 5 | 6609 | 8257 | 9808 | c |
| PSK_30s716971L003 | -1 | 1 | T0 | 23604 | 24104 | 2285 | c |
| PSK_30s716971L003 | -1 | 1 | 3 | 24070 | 28318 | 2285 | c |
| PSK_30s716971L003 | 1 | 1 | N | 24070 | 28326 | 2285 | c |
