function in the <code>SELECT<\/code> clause to find the largest amount of payments in 2004.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This picture shows the output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img

additional payment information, such as customer number, check number, and payment date, you can utilize the <code>MAX()<\/code> function within a subquery, as demonstrated in the following query:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-4\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL (Structured Query Language)\" data-shcb-language-slug=\"sql\"><span><code class=\"hljs

href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/tryit\/query\/mysql-max\/#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Try It Out<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"353\" height=\"39\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MySQL-MAX-function-with-a-subquery.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MySQL-MAX-function-with-a-subquery.png 353w,

works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The subquery returns the largest amount of all payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The outer query gets the payment whose amount is equal to the largest amount returned from the subquery and also other payment information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to do this without using the <code>MAX()<\/code> function is to sort the result set in descending order using the <code><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/mysql-basics\/mysql-order-by\/\">ORDER BY<\/a><\/code> clause and get the first row in the result set using the <code><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/mysql-basics\/mysql-limit\/\">LIMIT<\/a><\/code>&nbsp;clause as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\" aria-describedby=\"shcb-language-5\" data-shcb-language-name=\"SQL (Structured Query Language)\" data-shcb-language-slug=\"sql\"><span><code class=\"hljs language-sql\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">SELECT<\/span> \n    *\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">FROM<\/span>\n    payments\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">ORDER<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">BY<\/span> amount <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">DESC<\/span>\n<span

noreferrer\">Try It Out<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/mysql-index\/\">index<\/a> on the <code>amount<\/code> column, the second query with the <code>LIMIT<\/code> clause is faster because it examines all rows in the <code>payments<\/code> table, while the first query examines all the rows in the <code>payments<\/code> table twice, first once in the subquery and another in the outer query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if the <code>amount<\/code> column is indexed, the first query executes faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Using MySQL MAX() with GROUP BY clause example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the maximum value for every group, you use the <code>MAX<\/code> function with the <code><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysqltutorial.org\/mysql-basics\/mysql-group-by\/\">GROUP BY<\/a><\/code> clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statement uses the <code>MAX()<\/code> to get the largest payment from each

returns the largest payment in each group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) Using MySQL MAX() with HAVING clause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use the <code>MAX()<\/code> function with the <code>GROUP BY<\/code> clause, you can find the maximum value for each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to filter groups based on a condition, you can use the <code>MAX()<\/code> function in a <code>HAVING<\/code> clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following query finds the largest payment of each customer; and based on the returned payments, gets only payments whose amounts are greater than
