Problem: Spam Abuse IP of offender: 66.50.xxX.245 Date of offense: 2004-07-05 Time of offense: 16:15
Now if I query the database based on date and ip address, I get the
following:
Id Date Time Record Type Full
Name IP Address
====== ==== ============ ============ ============
=========================
349 2004-07-05 11:21:08 Start [EMAIL PROTECTED] 66.50.xxX.245 345 2004-07-05 11:21:09 Start [EMAIL PROTECTED] 66.50.xxX.245 413 2004-07-05 11:22:32 Stop [EMAIL PROTECTED] 66.50.xxX.245
[...]
what a about the very simple approach?a time data type. What I need to be able to do is find the start before the offense time, and the stop after the offense time so I know that the person with the start and the stop is the one that committed the abuse.
This should be very fast if you habe indexes on ip, date, time and record_type.
select * from table where ip="1.1.1.1" and datefield="2004-07-05" and timefield<="16:15:00" and record_type="Start" order by timefield desc limit 1;
select * from table where ip="1.1.1.1" and datefield="2004-07-05" and timefield>="16:15:00" and record_type="Stop" order by timefield limit 1;
