You could create a tmp table with the max bids and then join on that. Something like: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE max_bids SELECT auto_id, MAX(bid_amount) AS max_bid_amount FROM bids GROUP BY auto_id; SELECT dealer_id, b1.auto_id, bid_amount FROM bids b1, max_bids b2 WHERE b1.auto_id = b2.auto_id AND bid_amount=max_bid_amount AND auto_dealer_id = '3' AND Bid_Status = '1'; mark -- Please Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Independent Television News Limited unless specifically stated.
