 # max {#agg_function-max}
 
-Calculates the maximum.
+
+Aggregate function that calculates the maximum across a group of values.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+SELECT max(salary) FROM employees;
+```
+
+```
+SELECT department, max(salary) FROM employees GROUP BY department;

+If you need non-aggregate function to choose a maximum of two values, see `greatest`:
+
+```
+SELECT greatest(a, b) FROM table;
