Hi. I have a table called "images" with 4 columns - `image_id`, `item_name`, `image_url`, `image_views` (Where image_id is UNIQUE and AUTO-INCREMENT). Sometimes, there might be many items with the same name (but not with the same url). I want to make sure that each "item name" has at most 3 images (and therefore I need to delete the rest). The problem is that I want to keep the images with the most views. I've tried to look for efficient solutions either in MySQL or in PHP, but they are mostly very resource-intensive, Such as selecting all different names in PHP (using GROUP BY), then, for each name, doing DELETE FROM images WHERE item_name = 'ITEM-NAME-HERE' ORDER BY image_views ASC LIMIT (here some sub-query with count on how many rows have the name ITEM-NAME-HERE minus 3). I'd be glad if anyone could help me or point me to the right direction. Daniel. -- Use ROT26 for best security
