RE: Sql select max value question

You really need to share your code and explain "can't get exactly what I want".

Off the top of my head:

select CLASS, max(QUANTITY)
from MY_TABLE
group by CLASS



HTH

Subject: 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
