Fetch the maximum value from a MySQL column?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable
-> (
-> Value int
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.63 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(78);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(89);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(98);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(58);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+
| Value |
+-------+
| 78 |
| 89 |
| 98 |
| 58 |
+-------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get the maximum value from a column −
mysql> select Value from DemoTable order by Value DESC limit 1;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+
| Value |
+-------+
| 98 |
+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
