Hi,
I posted a question about this problem last week already but I still could not
solve it.
I have a table like:
| Shop | Article | Amount |
| A | 1 | 3 |
| B | 1 | 17 |
| C | 1 | 9 |
| D | 1 | 25 |
| A | 2 | 14 |
| B | 2 | 29 |
| G | 2 | 1 |
| D | 3 | 212 |
| E | 3 | 17 |
| F | 3 | 35 |
Now I try to run a query like:
SELECT Shop, Article, Amount, max(Amount) AS val FROM mytable WHERE Article = 1
GROUP BY Article;
The problem which I face is, that I want to find the row with the highest Amount
value but instead I get something like:
| Shop | Article | Amount | val |
| A | 1 | 3 | 25 |
What I expected to get is the row
| Shop | Article | Amount | val |
| D | 1 | 25 | 25 |
Where the maximum really is in. Instead MySQL takes the 1st match for the GROUP
BY statement and "adds" the max() value.
Whats wrong there with my statement ?
