Hi, I have a table that contains call records. I'm looking to get only
records for users who made the most calls over a particular time duration in
an efficient way.
calls()
time, duration, caller_number, dialed_number
-- query to get top 10 callers
select caller_number, count(1) from calls group by caller_number order by
calls desc limit 10
--my current query to get those callers
select * from call where caller_number in (above query)
It works but I was hoping for something a little more efficient if anyone
has an idea.
I don't think there is anything that is "a little more efficient" (implying, only a bit harder to implement).
You can probably get significantly faster by combining various forms of pre-computation and caching. It is likewise significantly more complex to implement.
