Re: Help with sub query

Add something like this to your query:

ORDER BY price_time LIMIT 1

Cheers,

Subject: [SQL] Help with sub query

Hi all,

I want the last value from the group of rows. The table 'index_prices' is

index_code price_time price

XYZ 09:45:00 7.5

XYZ 09:46:00 7.4

XYZ 09:59:00 7.2

XYZ 10:00:00 7.3

XYZ 10:01:00 7.6

XYZ 10:02:00 7.3

.

.

.

The other table 'times' is for time interval

snapshot_time

10:00:00

10:30:00

11:00:00

I want the last value of the price between the interval of time. So I do

select tm.index_code, tm.price_date, t.snapshot_time, last(tm.price)
from index_prices_200703 tm, times t where tm.index_code = 'XYZ' and
tm.price_time >= (t.snapshot_time - '30 minute' :: interval)::time and
tm.price_time < t.snapshot_time
group by t.snapshot_time, tm.price_date, tm.index_code order by
tm.index_code, tm.price_date, t.snapshot_time;

The last() doesn't work. Can this be done using sub query?

Thanks in advance
