I have a table containing fields unit_id, temperature and date. This
has data for around 20 units, with many 1,000's of records for each.
Further information on each unit is in another table with just 1 entry
per unit.
I need to select the most recent record for each unit together with
its extra data. I cannot see how to do this in a single select. At
present I sort by date DESC and group by unit_id then my perl script
discards all but the 1st record for each unit.
The select is:
$sqlquery = qq[SELECT
u.unit_id,
u.description,
u.owner,
u.location,
u.contents,
u.min_temp,
u.min_temp_dela y,
u.max_temp,
u.max_temp_dela y,
u.silence_delay ,
u.email,
u.sms,
l.temp,
l.date,
u.low_alarm,
u.hi_alarm,
u.silent_alarm,
u.alarm_state_s et
FROM units u, log l WHERE (u.unit_id = l.unit_id)
ORDER by u.unit_id, l.date DESC];
This involves a lot of (perl) processing and wasted mysql retrieval,
there must be a better way.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi
Been at this for 2 days now.
Each business has several packages which they can sort using
sort_order.
I'm trying to get one package for each business(that I can do), however
I want it to be the one with the lowest sort_order value
As you can see below the first record has sort_order=5 when it should
be 1.
Most of the sort_order columns will be zero by default

Hi all,
I am trying to do a query that returns all rows that are _not_ part of
a join, and so far I cannot seem to find a query that doesn't take 30
minutes or more to run.
The basic query is "select * from tableA where tableA_id NOT IN (select
tableA_id from tableB)".
Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

I am editing a pre-existing view.
This view is already bringing data from 40+ tables so I am to modify it
without screwing with anything else that is already in there.
I need to (left) join it with a new table that lists deposits and the
dates they are due. What I need is to print, for each record in the
view, the due date for the next deposit due and the total of all
payments that they will have made by the next due date.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
