Wow, great job. 0:00

Also, while you're at it, 0:01

they'd like you to figure out which room seats the most people. 0:03

To figure out which room has the largest capacity, instead of using the sum or 0:07

count aggregate methods, we'll be using the MAX method. 0:11

So let's SELECT the MAX(CAPACITY) FROM the ROOMS table. 0:15

Then you Shift+Enter, and it looks like the MAX(CAPACITY) is 40. 0:23

And to figure out which room this is, we can just add in the ID column. 0:27

And if we run it now, it looks like it's room 19. 0:32

Also, another cool thing you can do is you can always just SELECT *. 0:36

You don't have to have * by itself, you can also use it with other columns. 0:41

So selecting * and the MAX(CAPACITY) will give us both the ID and 0:45

CAPACITY columns, and then the MAX(CAPACITY) columns. 0:51

Another thing to mention is that if we had more than one ROOM with the same CAPACITY, 0:55

which we don't in this example, but you might in a real-world scenario. 0:59

Then instead of doing this you might want to figure out the MAX(CAPACITY), 1:03

which is 40, and then SELECT everything from ROOMS 1:06

where the CAPACITY is equal to your MAX(CAPACITY). 1:12

Which in this example is just 19. 1:16

But again, if you had more than one room, you'd probably want to do it this way. 1:18
