Sample Solution:

-- This query retrieves the minimum value in the 'purch_amt' column from the 'orders' table.
SELECT MIN(purch_amt)
-- Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data (in this case, 'orders').
FROM orders;

Output of the Query:

min
65.26

Code Explanation:

The said SQL statement is used to retrieve the lowest value in the "purch_amt" column from the 'orders' table. The "MIN" function is used to find the minimum value in the specified column.
The result of the query would be a single value representing the lowest "purch_amt" in the 'orders' table.
