SQL MIN() with HAVING
MIN() with HAVING
In this page, we are going to discuss the usage of SQL HAVING clause with SQL MIN() function to find the lowest value of a column over each group against some condition.

To get data of 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and minimum or lowest values of 'outstanding_amt' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -
1. the combination of cust_country and cust_city should make a group,
2. 'outstanding_amt' must be more than 6000,
the following SQL statement can be used :
SELECT cust_city, cust_country, -- 1. Selecting 'cust_city', 'cust_country',
-- and the minimum 'outstanding_amt'
MIN(outstanding_amt) -- 2. Finding the minimum 'outstanding_amt'
FROM customer -- 3. From the 'customer' table
GROUP BY cust_country, cust_city -- 4. Grouping the results by 'cust_country' and 'cust_city'
HAVING MIN(outstanding_amt) > 6000; -- 5. Filtering the groups based on a condition
Explanation:
- The query starts by selecting three columns: cust_city, cust_country, and the minimum outstanding_amt from the customer table.
- It groups the results by cust_country and cust_city. This means that it groups customers based on their city and country.
- Then, it applies a filter using the HAVING clause. This clause is similar to the WHERE clause but is specifically used with aggregate functions (like MIN() in this case) to filter grouped results. It ensures that only groups with a minimum outstanding_amt greater than 6000 are included in the final result.
- The result of this query will be a list of cities and countries where the minimum outstanding amount for any customer in that city and country combination is greater than 6000.

To get data of 'opening_amt' and minimum or lowest value of 'outstanding_amt' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -
1. the 'opening_amt' should come in a group,
2. the 'opening_amt' should be 3000 or 8000 or 10000,
the following SQL statement can be used :
SELECT opening_amt, MIN(outstanding_amt) -- 1. Selecting 'opening_amt' and the minimum 'outstanding_amt'
FROM customer -- 2. From the 'customer' table
GROUP BY opening_amt -- 3. Grouping the results by 'opening_amt'
HAVING opening_amt IN (3000, 8000, 10000); -- 4. Filtering the groups based on a condition
Explanation:
- The query starts by selecting two columns: opening_amt and the minimum outstanding_amt from the customer table.
- It groups the results by opening_amt. This means that it groups customers based on the value of their opening amount.
- Then, it applies a filter using the HAVING clause. This clause is similar to the WHERE clause but is specifically used with aggregate functions (like MIN() in this case) to filter grouped results. It ensures that only groups with an opening_amt of 3000, 8000, or 10000 are included in the final result.
- The result of this query will be a list of opening amounts along with the minimum outstanding amount for customers whose opening amount matches any of the specified values (3000, 8000, or 10000).
Output:

To get data of 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and minimum or lowest value of 'outstanding_amt' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -
1. 'cust_city' and 'cust_country' should be formatted in a group,
2. 'grade' must be 2,
the following SQL statement can be used:
SELECT cust_city, cust_country, -- Selecting 'cust_city', 'cust_country',
-- and the minimum 'outstanding_amt'
MIN(outstanding_amt) -- Finding the minimum 'outstanding_amt'
FROM customer -- From the 'customer' table
WHERE grade = 2 -- Filtering the rows where the 'grade' column equals 2
GROUP BY cust_city, cust_country; -- Grouping the results by 'cust_city' and 'cust_country'
Explanation:
- The query starts by selecting three columns: cust_city, cust_country, and the minimum outstanding_amt from the customer table.
- It includes a WHERE clause which filters the rows from the customer table where the grade column equals 2. This means it will only consider customers with a grade of 2.
- The results are then grouped by cust_city and cust_country. This means that it groups customers based on their city and country.
- The query calculates the minimum outstanding_amt within each group defined by cust_city and cust_country.
- The result of this query will be a list of cities and countries where the minimum outstanding amount for any customer in that city and country combination, who has a grade of 2, is displayed.
Output:
