Get top values

My task table contains the id of the task, the jobid that the task is
associated with, and a numeric value representing the priority of the
task. There can be multiple tasks for a job. I need a view that
returns the task id, and job id of the task with the higest priority
for each job. I tried grouping but this does not appear to work.
Thanks for the help.

I think this will do it.
SELECT *
FROM Tasks as A
WHERE TaskID =
(SELECT TOP 1 TaskID
FROM Tasks as B
WHERE A.JobID = B.JobID
ORDER BY B.Priority DESC)

Sean M. SeversonWith SQL 2005, you can try something like that :
with Ordering (JOB_ID, TASK_ID, RN) as
(select JOB_ID,
TASK_ID,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY JOB_ID ORDER BY PRIORITY)
from MyTable
)
select JOB_ID, TASK_ID
from Ordering
where RN=1
With SQL 2000, you should work with # tables or table variables. (with ORDER
BY ...)

That did it. I was missing the JobID comparison. Thanks so much!!
