RE: [EXTERNAL] Sql select max value question

HI Art
Just realized
Are you asking for the one record with the highest qty or the styles and classes with the highest qty for each style and class (which is what I just gave you)

HI Art

Not near a machine at the moment, but what you are asking for is to compare the same file against itself where a.style = b.style and a.class = b.class and a.qty gt or = max (b.qty)
I had to use gt
Cannot find the greater than sign

Hope this makes sense

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Sql select max value question

I have a table with 3 columns, style, class, quantity

There are many classes for each style. I want my select to return only the
class with the highest quantity.

I've been playing with max(qty) and fetch first row only from examples I
found on the web but can't get exactly what I want.

Thanks
