Select the maximum for each value in a MySQL table?
For this, use GROUP BY clause along with MAX(). Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> CountryName varchar(20), -> Population int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.56 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('US',560); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('UK',10090); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('UK',8794); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values('US',1090); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+------------+ | CountryName | Population | +-------------+------------+ | US | 560 | | UK | 10090 | | UK | 8794 | | US | 1090 | +-------------+------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select the maximum for each value in a MySQL table −
mysql> select CountryName,max(Population) from DemoTable group by CountryName;
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+-----------------+ | CountryName | max(Population) | +-------------+-----------------+ | US | 1090 | | UK | 10090 | +-------------+-----------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
