It seems to me that I should be able to do this, but after 5 hrs of trying, I can't figure this one out.
I could do this in two queries, but seems like I should be able to do this in one. What I am trying to do: Find the highest speed at which each interface of a router has run over time. I have three tables, two of which (interface, speed_history) are being used in this query (primary / foreign key fields noted as PK / FK): router -> 1:M -> interface -> 1:M -> speed_history ------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------- - router_no (int2) PK interface_id (int4) PK interface_id (int4) PK name (varchar) router_no (int2) FK updated_time (timestamp) PK link_description (varchar) speed (int4) Data in speed history looks like this: interface_id updated_time speed 1 2005-08-11 08:10:23 450112 1 2005-08-11 10:53:34 501120 <--- 1 2005-08-11 10:58:11 450112 2 2005-08-11 08:10:23 450112 <--- 2 2005-08-11 11:00:44 350234 3 2005-08-11 08:10:23 450112 <--- The rows of speed_history I want back are marked above with ' <--- '. Query results should look like: interface.interface_id interface.link_description speed_history.updated_time speed_history.speed ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
