Max of sum query

Question

I\'m trying to write a query that will list student(s) enrolled with the maximum total credit points.

Here is my query:

    SELECT s.S_ID,
       s.S_LAS         


        

Answer 1

You may want to tackle this by just using the group by and Sum(), and retrieve the result with an order by sum() with limit 1 or more depending on how many students your want.

This would eliminate the outer subquery.
