SQL MIN

When you need to find the minimum value of a column, you can use the SQL MIN function. The result will return a single record with the lowest value of the specified column.

The syntax for the MIN function is:

SELECT MIN("column_name")
FROM "table_name"

Table: Student

StudentID LastName FirstName DOB CourseFees CourseName
1 John Astone 07/15/1976 1000.00 Accountant
2 Bob Eastwood 02/13/1935 1500.00 Economic
3 Jane Hollywood 03/23/1939 2000.00 IT
4 Bob Eastwood 03/19/1980 3000.00 Economic

For example if want to find the minimum value of a course fees we would use the following statement:

SELECT MIN(CourseFees)
FROM Student

 

 

RESULT:

Minimum Course Fee

1000.00
