A subqueryless (ie join) version of your query will likely be faster:

select
 from_unixtime(t.clock),
 DATE_FORMAT(from_unixtime(t.clock),'%j %h:%i %p') as mins,
 MAX(t.value) as value_max
from history t
join items i using (itemid)
where t.itemid = @iid
 and i.hostid = @hid
and DATE_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR) <= from_unixtime(t.clock)
group by mins
order by t.clock;

For your second question, it might be easier to build a calendar table with one row for each possible & relevant datetime value, and left join that calendar table to your history table.

I need to create an inline view that will give me all dates between two specified. Here is the question posed to me that I need to answer: This basic query gets me the last 6 hours of history table entries for an item, grouped into minutes (if an item has a delay of 5 seconds, it takes the max out of each 11 entries per minutes).

set @iid=231;

set @hid=1;

select from_unixtime(t.clock), *DATE_FORMAT(from_unixtime(t.clock),'%j %h:%i %p') as mins*, MAX(t.value) as value_max from history t where t.itemid = (select itemid from items where itemid = @iid and hostid = @hid) and DATE_SUB(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(),INTERVAL 6 HOUR) <= from_unixtime(t.clock) *group by mins* order by t.clock;

It'll fetch 360 entries (360 minutes in 6 hours) that looks like this:

*from_unixtime(t.clock) mins                 value_max*

The format you see for mins is DAY_OF_YEAR HOUR:MIN AM/PM. DAY_OF_YEAR is unique, as in 55^th day of this year.

Okay, so if I can JOIN this table with another table/view/sub query that has EVERY MINUTE of the last 6 hours in a similarly formatted column like 'mins', we should be able to spot the missing 2 minutes.

from_unixtime(t.clock)    mins                 value_max
