I have the following N:N table (which stores the people boardings) in my Oracle Database (it is about an airport):
CREATE TABLE boardings( Passport VARCHAR2(8), Day DATE, Flight VARCHAR2(8), LuggageWeight NUMBER(4,2), CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(Passport, Day, Flight));
And I would like to make a query in order to see for each flight, which has been the day that has transported the highest amount of weight (keep in mind that a same flight, as RY-1234-VY for example, can make different travels in different days. I have been trying something like this, but it doesn’t work:
SELECT Day, Flight FROM test GROUP BY Day, Flight HAVING SUM(LuggageWeight) = (SELECT MAX(SUM(LuggageWeight)) FROM test GROUP BY Day, Flight);

I think you were close.
SELECT Day, Flight FROM boardings b1 GROUP BY Day, Flight HAVING SUM(LuggageWeight) = (SELECT MAX(SUM(LuggageWeight)) FROM boardings b2 where b1.Flight = b2.Flight -- I have added this line GROUP BY day, flight);
Something like this? :
SELECT Flight, Day FROM boardings b1 where (Flight, Day) = (SELECT Flight, Day FROM boardings b2 where b2.flight = b1.flight GROUP BY Flight, Day order by SUM(LuggageWeight) desc fetch first 1 rows only)
