# SQL MAX() Function

## The MAX() Function

The MAX() function returns the largest value of the selected column.

### SQL MAX() Syntax

    SELECT MAX(column_name) FROM table_name

## SQL MAX() Example

We have the following "Orders" table:

O_Id | OrderDate | OrderPrice | Customer
--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | 2008/11/12 | 1000 | Hansen
2 | 2008/10/23 | 1600 | Nilsen
3 | 2008/09/02 | 700 | Hansen
4 | 2008/09/03 | 300 | Hansen
5 | 2008/08/30 | 2000 | Jensen
6 | 2008/10/04 | 100 | Nilsen

Now we want to find the largest value of the "OrderPrice" column.

We use the following SQL statement:

    SELECT MAX(OrderPrice) AS LargestOrderPrice FROM Orders

The result-set will look like this:

LargestOrderPrice
2000
