Introduction to Max Function in SQLite

The MAX function in SQLite is a powerful aggregate function used to retrieve the maximum value from a set of values within a specified column. It is particularly useful for analyzing data and finding the highest value in a dataset. This function can be applied to numeric, text, or date/time data types, making it versatile for various types of analysis....

Ways to Find the Maximum of Multiple Columns in SQLite

Let’s start by creating the table and inserting some sample values in the table. The following code creates the SampleTable and inserts four entries in the table...

Example of Finding the Maximum Value Among Multiple Columns in SQLite

Let’s now use the concepts we have learned in this article in a technical example....

Conclusion

In this article, we covered how we can find the maximum of multiple columns in SQLite. We had a chance to look at two different methods to go about doing this, first using CASE statement. We understood the CASE statement and how quickly it can get very complicated. We later looked at the MAX() function and understood it MAX() Function. We also how we can use the concepts we learned in this article to a real-life situation through the technical example....
