Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a way to select a group of maximums from a set such that each value pair's greatest value is in the result set. For example, let's say I have this table Value_Pairs:
Name | Value ------------ Bob 1 Joe 7 Bob 2 Don 3 Don 4 Bob 6 The result I want is like this: Name | Value ------------ Bob 6 //Bob's highest value in the table Joe 7 //Joe's highest value in the table Don 4 //Don't highest value in the table So I'm looking for distinct maximums. Is it possible to do this *with a single query* in MySQL? I've tried a number of things and nothing comes close. ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
