So basically I have a table with two fields, 'number' and 'title', and I need a query to select the row with the highest value in 'number', for this i used

SELECT MAX('number') FROM table

Now I need to get the value of 'title' that corresponds to the highest value of 'number'.

How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

Order by the number in descending order and return only one record with limit

select title
from your_table
order by number desc
limit 1

Answer 2

select title, number from table where number=(select max(number) from table);
