SQL has a group of built in functions that come in handy.

I wanted to use the MAX function which returns the maximum value in a specified field.
Here's a way to do it:
int rec_no=0
hstmt = dbExecSQL(pdb,"SELECT MAX(recno) AS rec_no FROM author")
IF LEN(dbGetErrorCode(hstmt))
PRINT "Error Text: ", dbGetErrorText(hstmt)
endif
IF hStmt
dbGetData(hstmt,1,rec_no)
dbFreeSQL(hstmt)
endif
