Hello everyone, I am having some problems with two questions. Here they are:

Which product is ordered most frequently?
For this one I would like to do something like
SELECT PRODUCT_ID, COUNT(PRODUCT_ID), FROM ORDER_LINE_T HAVING MAX(COUNT(PRODUCT_ID));
But that doesn't work and I can not do the top 1 because it has multiple of the same numbers.
Which product has the highest quantity ordered?
Basically, I assume this one uses the same logic.

Thank You for any help!

[code]
select top 1
PRODUCT_ID, COUNT(PRODUCT_ID)
from ORDER_LINE_T
group by PRODUCT_ID
order by COUNT(PRODUCT_ID) desc
[/code]

[code]select top 1 WITH TIES
PRODUCT_ID, COUNT(PRODUCT_ID) AS OrdCnt
from ORDER_LINE_T
group by PRODUCT_ID
order by OrdCnt desc
[/code]

if you have multiple products that match maximum ordered value
