LEAST

Syntax

LEAST(value1,value2,...)

Description

With two or more arguments, returns the smallest (minimum-valued) argument. The arguments are compared using the following rules:

• If the return value is used in an INTEGER context or all arguments are integer-valued, they are compared as integers.

• If the return value is used in a REAL context or all arguments are real-valued, they are compared as reals.

• If any argument is a case-sensitive string, the arguments are compared as case-sensitive strings.

• In all other cases, the arguments are compared as case-insensitive strings.

LEAST() returns NULL if any argument is NULL.

Examples

SELECT LEAST(2,0); +------------+ | LEAST(2,0) | +------------+ | 0 | +------------+
