Re: max occurences

Hi,

if I understand the OP correctly, he /she is looking for the max. occurance of the same value in the column 'number' (eek, bad name!). If I'm right, he /she has to look for 'GROUP BY' and 'HAVING'.

And to you, '--B': please try to ask questions in a manner that you would like to be asked in. And provide OS, RDBMS, used tools etc.

hth,
Guido
