bookMINimal and MAXimal values

Now it's time to talk about aggregate functions - functions that calculate some summary stats. Let's start with extremal summary stats - minimum and maximum values.

To find the minimum (or maximum) value in the column use MIN (or MAX) functions followed by column name. For example, we can find out the cheapest car with Automatic transmission.

123
SELECT MIN(price) FROM audi_cars WHERE transmission = 'Automatic'
copy

Please note, that unlike for DISTINCT function you need to use parentheses for MIN and MAX functions.
