SQL MIN Function
Posted by JeffSep 19
SQL uses the MIN function to find the maximum value in a column.
The syntax for using the MIN function is:
SELECT MIN(“column_name”)
FROM
“table_name”
For example, if we want to get the lowest sales from the following table
Store Sales Information
| Store Name | Sales |
|---|---|
| Atlanta | $1500 |
| Boston | $250 |
| LA | $300 |
| Dallas | $700 |
type in
SELECT MIN(Sales) FROM Store_Information
Result:
MIN(Sales)
$250
$250 represents the minimum value of all Sales entries: $1500, $250, $300, and $700.
