MySQL的MIN函数是用来找出一个记录集最小值的记录。
要了解MIN函数考虑的EMPLOYEE_TBL表具有以下记录：
?
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;+------+------+------------+--------------------+| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |+------+------+------------+--------------------+| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 || 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 || 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 || 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 || 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 || 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 || 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |+------+------+------------+--------------------+7 rows in set (0.00 sec) |
现在假设上面的表的基础上想要取daily_typing_pages的最小值，那么可以这样做，简单地使用下面的命令：
?
mysql> SELECT MIN(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl;+-------------------------+| MIN(daily_typing_pages) |+-------------------------+| 100 |+-------------------------+1 row in set (0.00 sec) |
可以找到所有记录的最小值按名字使用GROUP BY子句如下：
?
mysql> id, name, work_date, MIN(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl GROUP BY name;+------+------+------------+-------------------------+| id | name | work_date | MIN(daily_typing_pages) |+------+------+------------+-------------------------+| 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 100 || 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 || 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 || 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 || 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |+------+------+------------+-------------------------+5 rows in set (0.00 sec) |
您可以使用MIN函数和MAX函数一起，查找最小值。试试下面的例子：
?
mysql> SELECT MIN(daily_typing_pages) least, MAX(daily_typing_pages) max -> FROM employee_tbl;+-------+------+| least | max |+-------+------+| 100 | 350 |+-------+------+1 row in set (0.01 sec) |
