selecting max row out of many

Hi,

How do you select one row with the highest column C out of many possible rows in sql?

Ex: Table X

A B C


abc	1	8
def	1	9
ghi	2	1

SELECT * FROM X WHERE B='1' will get me the first two rows, but how do I filter it out using column C, like taking the row with the highest C? I tried using max, but I couldn't get it to work.

Thanks in advance. Received on Tue Aug 08 2000 - 00:00:00 CDT
