CREATE TABLE table_204_939 (id NUMBER, "year" NUMBER, "chassis" CLOB, "engine" CLOB, "start" CLOB, "finish" CLOB)

did 1979 or 1985 have the larger finish place ?
SELECT "year" FROM table_204_939 WHERE "year" IN (1979, 1985) ORDER BY "finish" DESC LIMIT 1
SELECT "year" FROM "table_204_939" WHERE "year" IN (1979, 1985) ORDER BY "finish" DESC FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY
