I am having a problem with select results that I don't understand. It seems to be tied up with a GROUP BY statement. Forgive the complexity of the SQL, I inherited some problematic data structuring.
If I use this statement: SELECT lu_rcode_bucket.bucket AS 'BUCKET', CP_PKG.value AS 'PRODUCT', CP_PKG.value 'PACKAGE', client.active AS 'ACTIVE', client.created AS 'CREATED', count(*) as 'CNT' FROM client JOIN client_profile CP_RCODE ON client.acnt = CP_RCODE.acnt AND CP_RCODE.item = 'rcode' JOIN lu_rcode_bucket ON INSTR(CP_RCODE.value, lu_rcode_bucket.prefix) = 1 JOIN client_profile CP_PKG ON client.acnt = CP_PKG.acnt AND CP_PKG.item = 'pkg' LEFT JOIN client_profile CP_IDX_PKG ON client.acnt = CP_IDX_PKG.acnt AND CP_IDX_PKG.item = 'IDX_PKG' WHERE client.created >= '2012-02-07' AND client.created <= '2012-02-07' GROUP BY BUCKET, PRODUCT, PACKAGE, active with ROLLUP I get what I expect, having a number of rows where the "client.created" date is 2012-02-07. But if I change it to this (the only change is the "from" date): SELECT lu_rcode_bucket.bucket AS 'BUCKET', CP_PKG.value AS 'PRODUCT', CP_IDX_PKG.value 'PACKAGE', client.active AS 'ACTIVE', client.created AS 'CREATED', count(*) as 'CNT' FROM client JOIN client_profile CP_RCODE ON client.acnt = CP_RCODE.acnt AND CP_RCODE.item = 'rcode' JOIN lu_rcode_bucket ON INSTR(CP_RCODE.value, lu_rcode_bucket.prefix) = 1 JOIN client_profile CP_PKG ON client.acnt = CP_PKG.acnt AND CP_PKG.item = 'pkg' LEFT JOIN client_profile CP_IDX_PKG ON client.acnt = CP_IDX_PKG.acnt AND CP_IDX_PKG.item = 'IDX_PKG' WHERE client.created >= '2012-02-01' AND client.created <= '2012-02-07' GROUP BY BUCKET, PRODUCT, PACKAGE, active with ROLLUP The results contain no data with "client.created" = 2012-02-07. If I get rid of the group by (and the count(*)), there are rows with all 7 dates. I have tried changing the "to" date from '2012-02-07' to '2012-02-08', in case this was a "less than" issue, but that doesn't change. Why is the group by dropping the last date of my data? thanks, andy -- Andy Wallace iHOUSEweb, Inc. awall...@ihouseweb.com (866) 645-7700 ext 219 -- There are two ways to build software: Make it so simple that there are obviously no bugs, or make it so complex that there are no obvious bugs. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
