select max values
Hello. I need some help with an sql statement. Maybe one can help.

I got this table:

employee,value,zone
11,1541,0
11,1300,0
11,1810,1
11,1710,1
11,2000,2
11,1900,2

applying this statement:
select max(value),employee,zone
from table
group by employee,zone;

... delivers this result:
max(value),employee,zone
1541,11,0
1810,11,1
2000,11,2

All I want to get is one single line per employee, since I'm only interested in that row which has the largest values among the employees' data.

I expect this result:
11,2000,2

Can anyone help me out with the statement?



Many thanks
Milorad

You will get the same result if you run this query:
Code:
SELECT FIRST 1 VALUE,EMPLOYEE,ZONE
FROM TABLE
ORDER BY VALUE DESC
