How to find the minimum value by using ALL or ANY in SQL ?

Answer 1

I believe you must rewrite your question describing a little bit more your answer, if possible in which database you would like to do this.

I don’t know why would you like to do that instead of using MIN function.

In Oracle you could do this

select * from ex1 where number <= ANY (select number from ex1 where rownum=1 order by number asc)

But this will have the same result as:

 select * from ex1 where rownum=1 order by number asc

You could also do this:

select * from ex1 where number <= ALL (select number from ex1)
