Gives me invalid use of group function:
SELECT DISTINCT e.severity, e.time_stamp, replace(e.description,'{HOSTNAME}', h.host) AS description, h.host, h.hostid, e.value, e.triggerid, s.color FROM fs_events e JOIN hosts h USING (hostid) JOIN fs_severity s ON (e.severity = s.severityid) LEFT JOIN fs_events e2 ON e.triggerid=e2.triggerid AND MAX(e.time_stamp) < MAX(e2.time_stamp) WHERE e.hostid = 10011 AND e2.triggerid IS NULL ORDER BY e.time_stamp DESC ________________________________ From: Peter Brawley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2007 1:40 PM To: Bryan Cantwell Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: Need sql optimization help Bryan, A 'Not Exists' query <http://www.artfulsoftware.com/infotree/queries.php#41> is usually faster when coded as an exclusion join, eg for max-some-value per key, left join on the key variable and left.value < right. value where left.key is null, so you would need something like ... SELECT DISTINCT e.severity, e.time_stamp, replace(e.description,'{HOSTNAME}', h.host) AS description, h.host, h.hostid, e.value, e.triggerid, s.color FROM fs_events e JOIN hosts h USING (hostid) JOIN fs_severity s ON (e.severity = s.severityid) LEFT JOIN fs_events e2 ON e.triggerid=e2.triggerid AND e.MAX(time_stamp) < e2.MAX(time_stamp) WHERE e.hostid = 10011 AND e2.triggerid IS NULL ORDER BY e.time_stamp DESC PB Bryan Cantwell wrote: I have the following sql that works for what I want to see but is terribly slow due to the subquery. Any suggestions on how to get same result faster? I have tried group by and cant seem to get the correct results that way.... Also is there a product that can help optimize sql and indexing?
