Hi,
What version of MySQL are you using ?
How is price defined ? .. In the below example, I defined price as
float(9,2).
mysql> SELECT *
-> FROM a;
+-------+
| price |
+-------+
| 19.95 |
| 10.99 |
| 3.99 |
| 3.45 |
| 1.69 |
| 1.45 |
| 1.25 |
+-------+
7 rows in set (0.01 sec)
mysql> SELECT price
-> FROM a
-> HAVING price=MAX(price);
+-------+
| price |
+-------+
| 19.95 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql>
Regards,
Jorge

When I issue your suggested commands here are the resulted rows..
mysql> SELECT price
-> FROM shop
-> HAVING price=MAX(price);
Empty set (0.01 sec)
But when I issue...
mysql> select price from shop order by price desc;
+-------+
| price |
+-------+
| 19.95 |
| 10.99 |
| 3.99 |
| 3.45 |
| 1.69 |
| 1.45 |
| 1.25 |
+-------+
7 rows in set (0.01 sec)
Why??
