What is MIN and MAX used for?

< 1 min read

MIN returns the smallest value in a column, while MAX returns the largest value.
They are used to identify extremes in a dataset.
In my project, MIN(order_date) showed the first purchase date.
MAX(sales_amount) identified the highest transaction value.
These functions help in trend analysis and performance monitoring.
They are often combined with GROUP BY for summarized insights.
MIN and MAX are simple yet powerful for data validation and reporting.
