SQL question. They gave me a simple table with different elements and asked me to write an SQL query to find the element's name that appears the most in the table. The idea is just like the LeetCode question: 586. Customer Placing the Largest Number of Orders I solved it with GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and LIMIT 1 but they said using LIMIT is like cheating and asked for a different solution.
