> Anyone with some time for a little SQL question?

> I want to have a SELECT that gives me the highest values
> in a table

> The table looks like this:
> CountryName, Value, Year

> And the data something like:
> Sweden, 80, 1970
> Sweden, 20, 1999
> Denmark, 10, 1962
> Denmark, 15, 1992

> (etc)

> What I want to get from the query is the rows:
> Sweden, 20, 1999
> Denmark, 15, 1992

> Anyone?
