 <\/p>\n

We find the minimum value in a column in a dataset, with the MIN Function and we find the maximum value\u00a0 in a column in a dataset, with the with the MAX Function.<\/p>\n

Let’s make examples for a better understanding of MIN and MAX Functions.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we create a table with the help of the following script and add a few records into this table.<\/p>\n

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable]\r\n([ID] INT IDENTITY,\r\n\u00a0[Name] VARCHAR(20),\r\n\u00a0[Age] INT)\r\nINSERT [dbo].[MyTable]\r\nVALUES ('Hakan GURBASLAR',36),('Nurullah CAKIR',34),('Faruk ERDEM',27)<\/pre>\n
MIN Function Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n
We find the minimum age value in the table with the following script.<\/p>\n
SELECT MIN(Age) From [dbo].[MyTable]<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
MAX Function Usage:<\/strong><\/p>\n
We find the maximum age value in the table with the following script.<\/p>\n
SELECT MAX(Age) From [dbo].[MyTable]<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
We usually use the MIN and MAX functions with GROUP BY Clause. You can find detailed information in the following article.<\/p>\n
“Group By Clause, SUM, MAX, MIN, AVG, COUNT and COUNT_BIG Functions in SQL Server<\/a>”<\/p>\n\n
