MAX keep dense function

user1175345Mar 1 2010 — edited Mar 1 2010
Hi Everyone,

Rod West explained to me about MAX keep dense here:

1037129

I have another query to do that could use MAX, so tried this:

MAX(Status) KEEP(DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY ID||Status )

I want the max status for a student (where a student can have mutiple records with multiple status values)

I am getting an error:
ora 001722 - invalid number.

the status is an alpha field....

Did i code the max function correctly?

pls advise, thx, sandra
