   Hello!   
      
   In a field in the database called Cid we have a format like year-35-X   
   So in the database we can have numbers that can look like this.   
    2012-35-1   
   2012-35-2   
   ...   
   2012-35-56   
   2012-35-0145   
      
   If I want a select statement that return the largest number for X how can I   
   write this ?   
   So if we have 2012-35-0194 in the database field Cid I want to get back 195   
   ?
