MIN_BY
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The MIN_BY() aggregate function calculates a value at the row containing the minimum value of all by values. This works the same way as the Oracle specific KEEP clause.
SELECT min_by(AUTHOR_ID, ID) FROM BOOK
create.select(minBy(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID, BOOK.ID))
.from(BOOK)
Producing:
+--------+ | min_by | +--------+ | 1 | +--------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:

ClickHouse
argMin(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID, BOOK.ID)
Hana
first_value(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID ORDER BY BOOK.ID)
HSQLDB
CASE WHEN cardinality(array_agg(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID ORDER BY BOOK.ID)) >= 1 THEN (array_agg(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID ORDER BY BOOK.ID))[1] END
Oracle
