How does one get Oracle SQL to return only the
top (#1/head -1) row with the greatest number of
occurences (count(column_name))for a give table.



In other words what sql function will


just return the first row in the result set
generated by:



select column_name


from table_name


group by column_name


order by count(column_name)
