Hi all,
suppose I have a table like:
CREATE TABLE mytab
(
num integer,
mydate timestamp
);
and I want to find MAX(num) and the "mydate" where it first happened.
I guess I could use
select * from mytab where num = (select MAX(num) from mytab) order by
mydate limit 1;
but that would scan the data twice (I guess...)
Do I have to write my own MAX function, something like:
select MYMAX(num, timestamp) from mytab
which would return a custom type?
Or is there a better way?
