outputting the highest occurence in a column

I need to output which column value occurs the most

for example

ProductID
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
3
3

Hence I should get 2 since that occurs the most.
Please help.

Thanks.

-Shiraz

Send a message via ICQ to dhouston
Code:
SELECT TOP 1 ProductID, count(ProductID) as thecount FROM table GROUP BY thecount ORDER BY thecount DESC


Something like that should give you a row containing the top product and its count. The equivalent query (syntax slightly different) worked like a charm in mysql.
