Your best bet is to maintain this information in separate content table (like 
your file system does). When you occupy a block, you go and update your content 
table. This way you can allways select MAX() and have the largest block. You 
can certainly write some complicated sql statement to do so as well, however if 
there are lots of shelves your query will take forever.
