Find the max value in a column in Python and SQLite

Suppose you needed to find out the max value in a column - for instance, to find out which student has the highest number of points. The max function will help you do that. Replace it for the word 'min' and it will do the exact opposite (find the minimum)!

Code

import sqlite3

#Sqlite's MAX aggregate function allows us to select the highest (max) value for a specific column
def find_max(): #try changing the max to min and see what happens!
    conn=sqlite3.connect("test.db")
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT max(POINTS) from STUDENT;")
    print("The max points held by any student in our database is.........")
    print("=========================================")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)
    
def count_rows():
    conn=sqlite3.connect("test.db")
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT count(*) from STUDENT;")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)

def return_specific_fields():
    conn=sqlite3.connect("test.db")
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT ID, NAME from STUDENT;")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)
        

def sorting():
    conn=sqlite3.connect('test.db')
    #change the ASC at the end to DESC and ...yes, it will sort by descending order instead!
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT * from STUDENT ORDER BY POINTS ASC;")
    print("Sorting from the least points to the most")
    print("===========================")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)
        
def search_for_phrase():
    conn=sqlite3.connect('test.db')
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT * from STUDENT WHERE POINTS GLOB '*00*'")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)

def the_where_clause():
    conn=sqlite3.connect('test.db')
    myrows=conn.execute("SELECT * from STUDENT WHERE POINTS >= 19000;")
    print("The students who have achieved points above 19000 are:")
    print("=======================================")
    for row in myrows:
        print(row)
    conn.close()

def deleting():
    conn=sqlite3.connect('test.db')
    conn.execute("DELETE from STUDENT where ID = 3;")
    conn.commit()
    print("Total number of rows deleted :", conn.total_changes)

    cursor = conn.execute("SELECT id, name, comment, points from STUDENT")
    for row in cursor:
     print("ID = ", row[0])
     print("NAME = ", row[1])
     print("COMMENTS = ", row[2])
     print("POINTS = ", row[3], "\n")
     print("====Your request to delete has been completed=====")
    conn.close()

def update_database():
    conn = sqlite3.connect('test.db')
    conn.execute("UPDATE STUDENT set POINTS = 99000.00 where ID = 4")
    conn.commit
    print("Total number of rows updated :", conn.total_changes)

    cursor = conn.execute("SELECT id, name, comment, points from STUDENT")
    for row in cursor:
       print ("ID = ", row[0])
       print ("NAME = ", row[1])
