Как выбрать самую старую дату из разных столбцов?

Question

Я знаю, что мог бы использовать мин (дату), чтобы найти самую старую дату между столбцами, но как я могу выбрать самую старую дату между 3 разными столбцами?

Пример:

Select date_1, date_2, date_3, do_something(oldest_date) from table;

РЕДАКТИРОВАТЬ: На самом деле мой запрос немного сложнее.

                    OR test.DATE_EXPIRATION IS NULL, DATE_FORMAT(DATE_ADD(test.DATE_test, INTERVAL test.VALIDITY YEAR), '%d-%m-%Y'), DATE_FORMAT(test.DATE_EXPIRATION, '%d-%m-%Y')))) AS VENCIMIENTO

Я пытался использовать CASE, как предложено, но я получаю:

Error Code: 1054. Unknown column 'date_1' in 'field list'

Answer 1

Это ответ на оригинальный пост:

select date_1, date_2, date_3, do_something(a) from table, (select least(date_1, date_2, date_3) a from table) b;

Я не собираюсь пытаться выяснить сложности редактирования.

Если все, что вы хотитеэто результаты вашей функции, то это:

select do_something(a) from (select least(date_1, date_2, date_3) a from table) b;

Answer 2

Ладно, я сделал удар со сложностями.Я не уверен, будет ли это работать:

SELECT DATE_1, DATE_2, DATE_3, do_something(a) FROM b, ( SELECT LEAST(DATE_1, DATE_2, DATE_3) a FROM ( SELECT (...) as DATE_1, (...) as DATE_2, (...) as DATE_3 ) FROM table WHERE table_id = 1001 ) AS b ) AS c;

Answer 3

SELECT CASE WHEN date_1 <= date_2 AND date_1 <= date_3 THEN date_1
            WHEN date_2 <= date_1 AND date_2 <= date_3 THEN date_2
            ELSE date_3
       END AS oldest_date
    FROM table;
