SQL Help

[Mike Bonner]

if I understand correctly, and just off the top of my head, using "limit"
is one way to do this...
The sql pseudo code would be something like:  select * from yourtable order
by iStoreGrp descending where meterNum = 1 AND valveNum = 3 limit 1
This would grab all the rows, sort them by istoregrp and return the top
entry
