    error in Max keyword

    I have a table (tableX, say)with the following columns:


    Day sales
    0 60
    1 61
    2 65
    . .
    .
    .
    50 70

    I wanted to get the max value of sales and the corresponding day and wrote "select max(sales), day from tableX" but i get an error message.

    What could be the reason?

    from tablex
    where sales=(select max(sales) from tablex)
