SQL MAX - SQL Tutorial

The SQL MAX aggregate function allows us to select the highest (maximum) value for a certain column.

The SQL MAX function syntax is very simple and it looks like this:


SELECT MAX(Column1)
FROM Table1

If we use the Customers table from our previous chapters, we can select the highest date of birth with the following SQL MAX expression:


SELECT MAX(DOB) AS MaxDOB
FROM Customers
