Suppose you have a table T:
----------------------
A B
----------------------
1 '111'
2 '222'
----------------------
How do you select A and B of the record with A maximum?
The desirable result therefore is (2, '222')
The two variants I could grow with are:
1) SELECT A, B FROM T ORDER BY A DESC LIMIT 1
2) SELECT A, B FROM T WHERE A IN (SELECT MAX(A) FROM T)
What do yo think of the queries above? And give me the better implementation
if possible.
