Hi,
I have two tables where I have to find the record for Max value of the column sap_pkid for every sap_id as in given table create script. This script is giving correct value but looking for a better way so that when data increses it doesn't hit the performance.

Please suggest another way where max can be avoided or a more tuned query .

create table tab1 (sapid number,
denid number);

create table tab2 (sap_pkid number ,sapid number,
denid number,
constraint pk_sapid primary key (sap_pkid ,sapid))

insert into tab1 values(1,50);
insert into tab1 values(2,50);

insert into tab2 values(5,1,50);
insert into tab2 values(10,1,50);
insert into tab2 values(15,1,50);
insert into tab2 values(20,1,50);
insert into tab2 values(25,2,50);
insert into tab2 values(30,2,50);

SELECT sap_pkid, tab2.sapid
  FROM tab1, tab2
 WHERE tab1.sapid = tab2.sapid
   AND tab1.denid = tab2.denid
   AND sap_pkid = (SELECT MAX (sap_pkid)
                     FROM tab2
                    WHERE tab1.sapid = tab2.sapid AND tab1.denid = tab2.denid)




Regards,
Mona

Instead of using correlated subquery, use MAX() in its Analytic form.

Have a look at RANK or DENSE_RANK functions.
