Small
Description Finds a small value at a specified ranking in a column (for example, third-
smallest, fifth-smallest) and returns the value of another column or expression
based on the result.
Syntax Small ( returnexp, column, nbottom { FOR range { DISTINCT { expres1
{, expres2 {, ... } } } } } )
Argument Description
n The angle (in radians) for which you want the sine
Argument Description
returnexp The value you want returned when the small value is found.
Returnexp includes a reference to a column, but not necessarily the
column that is being evaluated for the small value, so that a value is
returned from the same row that contains the small value.
column The column that contains the small value you are searching for.
Column can be a column name or a column number preceded by a
pound sign (#). Column can also be an expression that includes a
reference to the column. The datatype of column must be numeric.
