Re: Select latest Timestamp values with group by

Thanks Craig, but I solved the issue by the below query :-

Here is the query for that :-

select bb_id,lat,lon,speed,dt_stamp from demo_table
inner join
  (select bb_id as did, max(dt_stamp) as ts
  from demo_table group by bb_id) as ds
  on demo_table1.bb_id = ds.did and demo_table1.dt_stamp = ds.ts;


Best Regards
Adarsh

Any update on the below query :-
I tried the below query but :-

select bb_id,lat,lon,max(dt_stamp) from gps_tracker group by bb_id;

ERROR:  column "gps_tracker.lat" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 1: select bb_id,lat,lon,max(dt_stamp) from gps_tracker group by...
                     ^

********** Error **********

ERROR: column "gps_tracker.lat" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
SQL state: 42803
Character: 14

I think this can be solved by applying some function to lat lon values of max(dt_stamp) row.


Thanks

Hi Craig :-

Below is the schema of my table :-

CREATE TABLE demo_table
(
 id character varying NOT NULL,
 lat double precision,
 lon double precision,
 speed double precision,
 dt_stamp timestamp without time zone DEFAULT now(),
 CONSTRAINT gps_tracker_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
WITH (
 OIDS=FALSE);

I let u know after some work on Window functions

Thanks

Dear all,

I need to write a query to select latest rows with timestamp values.
My ID is repeated with lat lon and timestamp. I want the latest row of
each ID ( group by id ).

"3911";"661000212";26.8491101532852;92.8058205131302;0;"2011-10-14

Can anyone let me know the query for that.

No, they can't. You only posted semicolon-separated data, not a schema with column names or anything much else.

For a task like this you can use a window function, or you can self-join and use a WHERE clause to match the greatest row. Using a window function will be MUCH more efficient, so only use the self-join if you're running on a really old version of PostgreSQL.

Using the first_value or last_value window functions with an ordering clause to select the greatest timestamp within each window frame.
