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 |

Why bother when the following works:
mysql SELECT price FROM shop ORDER BY price DESC LIMIT 1;

Why won't the following syntax work?

Hi,
You are using an aggregate function (MAX) in a condition which requires
you to use the HAVING statement instead of the WHERE statement.
Your query should look something like:
SELECT price
FROM shop
HAVING price=MAX(price);
