[PHP-DB] RE: [PHP] Querying for MAX From: Leotta, Natalie (NCI/IMS) (LeottaN <email protected>)

is

select MAX(<column name>)

what you are looking for? I know it works on numeric columns, I'm not sure
if it works on non-numbers, you'd have to look it up in a SQL Tutorial
somewhere.

Good luck!

I'm sorry if this mensaje is posted twice. I sent it yesterdays, but then my
ISP had problems with e-mail and I lost dozens of them and don't know if
sent OK.

Hi all,

What I'm trying to do here is not inside PHP nor MySQL books I have. I need
to query the DB to look the max result in a column. That is, if I have
affiliate members with ID going from 1 to 10, get the query to know that the
last member added was 10 so I can add member 11 without using
auto_increment, because I need to insert old members too which already have
ID numbers. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance,
