The MIN function is one of the aggregate functions that are
used to calculate statistical information for a specified numeric field
in a query. The other aggregate functions are: AVG, COUNT, MAX, STDEV,
STDEVP, SUM, VAR, VARP. Note that all of these functions return
a single value.
The MIN function simply finds the lowest, or minimum, value
in a field.
This code finds the shortest hospital stay by a MediCare patient over
the age of 65 and stores that information in MinStay.
SELECT MIN(DaysInHospital) AS [MinStay]
FROM MediCarePatients
WHERE age > 65
