Wow, great job.

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.
