RE: [GENERAL] No MAX function

SET QUERY_LIMIT TO restricts the number of rows returned.  I want to
determine the largest value in a column.  Sorry if my question was unclear,
I am new to %SQL.

Hi,

I believe there is a patch in "contrib" directory that does this, but if you
have Postgres 6.4 then have a look at the

SET QUERY_LIMIT TO

command.
