MAX函数用于找出记录集中具有最大值的记录。
要理解 MAX 函数,请考虑 employee_tbl 表,表中记录如下所示:
SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl; +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
现在,假设你想要获取 daily_typing_pages 的最大值,那么你可以用如下命令来达到目的:
SQL> SELECT MAX(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl; +-------------------------+ | MAX(daily_typing_pages) | +-------------------------+ | 350 | +-------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
你还可以使用GROUP BY子句,为每个名字(name)找出 daily_typing_pages 的最大值:
SQL> SELECT id, name, MAX(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl GROUP BY name; +------+------+-------------------------+ | id | name | MAX(daily_typing_pages) | +------+------+-------------------------+ | 3 | Jack | 170 | | 4 | Jill | 220 | | 1 | John | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 350 | +------+------+-------------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
你还可以将MIN函数同MAX函数一起使用,来找出最小值。试一下下面的例子:
SQL> SELECT MIN(daily_typing_pages) least, MAX(daily_typing_pages) max -> FROM employee_tbl; +-------+------+ | least | max | +-------+------+ | 100 | 350 | +-------+------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)
你还可以将MIN函数同MAX函数一起使用,来找出最小值。试一下下面的例子:
SQL> SELECT MIN(daily_typing_pages) least, -> MAX(daily_typing_pages) max -> FROM employee_tbl; +-------+------+ | least | max | +-------+------+ | 100 | 350 | +-------+------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)
