The MIN() function returns the smallest value of the selected column.SQL MIN() Syntax
SELECT MIN(column_name) FROM table_name |
SQL MIN() Example
We have the following "Orders" table:| O_Id | OrderDate | OrderPrice | Customer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2008/11/12 | 1000 | Hansen |
| 2 | 2008/10/23 | 1600 | Nilsen |
| 3 | 2008/09/02 | 700 | Hansen |
| 4 | 2008/09/03 | 300 | Hansen |
| 5 | 2008/08/30 | 2000 | Jensen |
| 6 | 2008/10/04 | 100 | Nilsen |
Now we want to find the smallest value of the "OrderPrice" column.
We use the following SQL statement:
SELECT MIN(OrderPrice) AS SmallestOrderPrice FROM Orders |
The result-set will look like this:
| SmallestOrderPrice |
|---|
| 100 |
