Hi,

I would like to know if ther is a way of doing something like this :

select max(col1) from (select count(*) as col1 from table1 where index_field
= 3 group by day);

table1 loking like :

day | index_field | ...
-------------------------------------
1 1
1 1
1 3
1 3
2 3
3 1
3 3

Finally, I only want to know the maximum count(*) value grouped by day

my sub query should return me :

col1
-------
2 (for day 1)
1 (for day 2)
1 (for day 3)

So, Max(col1) would return me " 2 "

but... imbriqued select doesn't seems to work in 6.5.3....

Any suggestions?
