Re: SQL to retrieve min value of the combination

question's a little vague, but assuming you are trying to get records for the minimum values of the first and third column, for all rows in a table, you could try a subquery like

select *
from x
where (col1, col3) in (

    select col1, min(col3)
    from x
    group by col1
    )

but don't try this until you understand why it works ;-)
