Max for each

  • I'm trying to select a bunch of rows but I only want the latest trips (trip_id) for each record. The following only gives me the latest trip for ALL records - only one row. What do I need to change? Thanks

     SELECT S.record_count,  

             T.trip_id,

      S.compart_no,  

             T.boat_id,  

             T.boat_type,  

             S.recordor_id,  

             S.record_type,  

             S.record_loc_type FROM DRY_records S, trip T

     WHERE ( S.trip_id =* T.trip_id

     AND  S.boat_id =* T.boat_id 

       AND      S.boat_type =* T.boat_type) and

    T.trip_id =  (select max(trip_id) from trip)

  • Something like this should get you close:

    SELECT S.record_count,

    max(T.trip_id),

    S.compart_no,

    T.boat_id,

    T.boat_type,

    S.recordor_id,

    S.record_type,

    S.record_loc_type

    FROM DRY_records S, trip T

    WHERE (S.trip_id = T.trip_id

    AND S.boat_id = T.boat_id

    AND S.boat_type = T.boat_type)

    GROUP BY

    S.record_count,

    S.compart_no,

    T.boat_id,

    T.boat_type,

    S.recordor_id,

    S.record_type,

    S.record_loc_type

  • I thnk that you just need to extend your derived table and join it :

    SELECT s.Record_Count,

    t.Trip_ID,

    s.Compart_No,

    t.Boat_ID,

    t.Boat_Type,

    s.Recordor_ID,

    s.Record_Type,

    s.Record_Loc_Type

    FROM (SELECT Boat_ID,

    Boat_Type,

    MAX(Trip_ID) AS Trip_ID

    FROM Trip

    GROUP BY Boat_ID,

    Boat_Type) mt

    JOIN Trip t

    ON t.Boat_ID = mt.Boat_ID

    AND t.Boat_Type = mt.Boat_ID

    AND t.Trip_ID = mt.Trip_ID

    JOIN DRY_Records s

    ON s.Boat_ID = mt.Boat_ID

    AND s.Boat_Type = mt.Boat_ID

    AND s.Trip_ID = mt.Trip_ID

    The derived table (alias mt) lists the maximum Trip_ID for each Boat_ID and Boat_Type (Are both of these required as the primary key?) and this result is used to select records from the other two tables.

  • Sorry, my formatting seems to have disappeared!

    SELECT s.Record_Count,

    t.Trip_ID,

    s.Compart_No,

    t.Boat_ID,

    t.Boat_Type,

    s.Recordor_ID,

    s.Record_Type,

    s.Record_Loc_Type

    FROM (SELECT Boat_ID,

    Boat_Type,

    MAX(Trip_ID) AS Trip_ID

    FROM Trip

    GROUP BY Boat_ID,

    Boat_Type) mt

    JOIN Trip t

    ON t.Boat_ID = mt.Boat_ID

    AND t.Boat_Type = mt.Boat_ID

    AND t.Trip_ID = mt.Trip_ID

    JOIN DRY_Records s

    ON s.Boat_ID = mt.Boat_ID

    AND s.Boat_Type = mt.Boat_ID

    AND s.Trip_ID = mt.Trip_ID

  • I think you need the max(trip_id) for each boat_id and boat_type combination:

     SELECT S.record_count,  

             T.trip_id,

             S.compart_no,  

             T.boat_id,  

             T.boat_type,  

             S.recordor_id,  

             S.record_type,  

             S.record_loc_type FROM DRY_records S, trip T

     WHERE ( S.trip_id =* T.trip_id

                 AND  S.boat_id =* T.boat_id 

                 AND S.boat_type =* T.boat_type) 

      AND T.trip_id =  (

                    SELECT max(M.trip_id) FROM trip M

                    WHERE T.boat_id = M.boat_id

                        AND T.boat_type = M.boat_type

                     )

    Here's an alternative:

     SELECT S.record_count,   

             M.trip_id_max,

             S.compart_no,   

             M.boat_id,   

             M.boat_type,  

             S.recordor_id,  

             S.record_type,  

             S.record_loc_type

    FROM DRY_records S,

        (SELECT T.boat_id, T.boat_type, MAX(T.trip_id) AS trip_id_max

            FROM trip T

            GROUP BY T.boat_id, T.boat_type

        ) AS M

     WHERE ( S.trip_id =* M.trip_id

                 AND  S.boat_id =* M.boat_id 

                 AND S.boat_type =* M.boat_type) 

    Good luck
