Solution 2

This will require a multipart query. You need one part to find the maximum salary for a given citycode and age, and one part to return the name... like this:

SQL

select personName 
from person 
where salary = (select max(salary) from person where citycode = 12 and age = 32) 
and citycode = 12 
and age = 32

If you are asking for three queries....

SQL

Select top(1) PersonName from person Order by Salary Desc -- maximum salary
Select PersonName from person where citycode=12  -- CityCode=12
select PersonName from Person where age=32  -- age=32

if you are asking for name of the person earning highest salary in citycode 12 and age 32. Then the query is:

SQL

Select top(1) PersonName from person where citycode=12 and age=32 order by salary Desc

...

if this is not what u required.. use Improve Question widget....

As per your requirement u can use the multiQuery written by Damian S or

SQL

Select p1.PersonName from person p1 
inner join (Select Max(salary) as maxsalary from person where Citycode=12 and age=32)p2 on p1.salary=p2.maxsalary Where p1.CityCode=12 and p1.age=32

But if you want max salary grouped on person you can use:

SQL

Select PersonName, max(Salary) as Salary from person where age=32 and Citycode=12 Group by PersonName
