The whole question is pretty much in the title. For each row of the table I'd like to select the maximum of a subset of columns.

For example, from this table

name m1 m2 m3 m4
A     1  2  3  4
B     6  3  4  5
C     1  5  2  1

the result would be

name max
A      4
B      6
C      5

The query must be compatible oracle 8i.

Thanks.
