Returned Value

Returns the maximum value of expr. MAX() may take a string argument, in such cases, it returns the maximum string value.

Examples

  1. > drop table if exists tbl1,tbl2;
  2. > create table tbl1 (col_1a tinyint, col_1b smallint, col_1c int, col_1d bigint, col_1e char(10) not null);
  3. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,1,7,"a");
  4. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,2,8,"b");
  5. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,3,9,"c");
  6. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,4,10,"D");
  7. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,5,11,"a");
  8. > insert into tbl1 values (0,1,6,12,"c");
  9. > select max(col_1d) from tbl1;
  10. +-------------+
  11. | max(col_1d) |
  12. +-------------+
  13. | 12 |
  14. +-------------+
  15. > select max(col_1c) as m1 from tbl1 where col_1d<12 group by col_1e;
