SQL Select only rows with Max Value on a Column FILTERED by Column

This is a followup question to the excellent answer:
SQL Select only rows with Max Value on a Column

SQLFiddle http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/3077f/2

Table "yourtable":

| id | val | ignore | content |
-------------------------------
| 1  | 10  |   0    |   A     |
| 1  | 20  |   0    |   B     |
| 1  | 30  |   1    |   C     |
| 2  | 40  |   0    |   D     |
| 2  | 50  |   0    |   E     |
| 2  | 60  |   1    |   F     |

When looking for max val per id, following sql is used:

select yt1.*
from yourtable yt1
left outer join yourtable yt2
on (yt1.id = yt2.id and yt1.val < yt2.val )
where yt2.id is null;

So the result will be in this case

| id | val | ignore | content |
-------------------------------
| 1  | 30  |   1    |   C     |
| 2  | 60  |   1    |   F     |

The Question is how to filter out by column "ignore" when it's =1 so the result will be

| id | val | ignore | content |
-------------------------------
| 1  | 20  |   0    |   B     |
| 2  | 50  |   0    |   E     |

You need to put the condition both in the subquery and the outer query:

select yt1.*
from yourtable yt1 left outer join
     yourtable yt2
     on yt1.id = yt2.id and yt1.val < yt2.val and yt2.ignore <> 1
where yt2.id is null and yt1.ignore <> 1;

You can simply add another condition and yt1.ignore <> 1, as below:

select yt1.*
from yourtable yt1
left outer join yourtable yt2
on (yt1.id = yt2.id and yt1.val < yt2.val )
where yt2.id is null and yt1.ignore <> 1;
