Question

How can I display a distinct Field1 and a Field2 that contains the max value for field2?

For example, from the left table get the right table:

| Field1 | Field2 |        | Field1 | Field2 |
--------------------       -------------------
|  A     |  1     |        |  A     |  3     |
|  A     |  2     |        |  B     |  2     |
|  A     |  3     |        |  C     |  4     |
|  B     |  1     |        -------------------
|  B     |  2     |
|  C     |  1     |
|  C     |  2     |
|  C     |  3     |
|  C     |  4     |
--------------------

I’m a student yet and still a newbie in MySQL 🙂
