I want to create a stored procedure in MySQL, but first, I want to get the query right. However, I keep getting the problem that I can't seem to get the correct id back from my query that correspond with the DateTime stamps that I get back.
this is the table I am trying to get the result from:
id EventId start end
1 1 2019-04-05 00:00:00 2019-04-07 00:00:00
2 2 2020-04-03 00:00:00 2020-04-03 00:00:00
3 3 2020-04-02 00:00:00 2020-04-02 00:00:00
7 1 2020-06-11 00:00:00 2020-06-11 00:00:00
9 2 2020-06-18 00:00:00 2020-06-18 00:00:00
10 3 2020-06-11 00:00:00 2020-06-11 00:00:00
11 3 2020-06-07 00:00:00 2020-06-07 00:00:00
query:
SELECT DISTINCT Eventid, MIN(start), id
from date_planning
WHERE `start` >= NOW()
GROUP BY Eventid
this gives me the following result
EventId Min(start) id
1 2020-06-11 00:00:00 3
2 2020-06-18 00:00:00 9
3 2020-06-07 00:00:00 10
but these are the correct ids that belong to those DateTimes:
EventId Min(start) id
1 2020-06-11 00:00:00 7
2 2020-06-18 00:00:00 9
3 2020-06-07 00:00:00 11
You want the row with the minimum "future" date for each eventId
. To solve this greatest-n-per-group problem, you need to filter rather than aggregate. Here is one option using a correlated subquery:
select dt.*
from date_planning dt
where dt.start = (
select min(dt1.start)
from date_planning dt1
where dt1.eventId = dt.eventId and dt1.start >= now()
)
For performance, you need an index on (eventId, start)
.
