Subj:   Conditional max
 
From:   Jeff Ohlman



Given the following set what is the SIMPLEST way to select PARENT, CHILD, MAX(AMT) where AMT is not null, but if AMT is null then select PARENT, MAX(CHILD).

Where PARENT is CHAR(13), CHILD is CHAR(13) and AMT is DECIMAL(12,2)

     PARENT    CHILD          AMT
     X          A             NULL
     X          B             NULL
     X          C             NULL

This should give X, C, NULL

     PARENT    CHILD          AMT
     Y          F             25.00
     Y          G             40.00
     Y          H             NULL

This should give Y, G, 40
