I can't seem to get this right. Given data that looks like this:

5,986,049 279369
5,986,052 279369

How can I get the record with the largest first value in SQL? I want this:

6,025,778 247746
6,004,457 257503
5,986,725 279287
5,986,052 279369

Thanks!
If the first column is FIELD1 and the second column is FIELD2:

SELECT MAX(FIELD1), FIELD2 from TABLE group by FIELD2
