I'm trying to put together a custom view for some output elements that would give me various fields from the largest contribution for each customer.
So I've gotten this far in my select statement:
select customer_no, max(cont_amt) as cont_amtfrom vs_contributiongroup by customer_no
But how do I get the ref_no of this largest contribution in there so I can join to the full contribution record and get other info, like gift date, campaign, source, etc.?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

I like the below, David, especially because I rarely think of using temp tables. But since I rarely think of using temp tables, I can’t see an easy way of turning this into a view for an output element… any ideas?
Database Administrator
create table #gifts(
counter int,
customer_no int,
ref_no int,
cont_amt money
)
insert into #gifts
select row_number() over (partition by customer_no order by cont_amt desc), customer_no, ref_no, cont_amt
from t_contribution
delete from #gifts where counter <> 1
select * from #gifts
