Add something like this to your query:
ORDER BY price_time LIMIT 1 Cheers, ~p -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of roopa perumalraja Sent: Monday, 19 March 2007 13:56 To: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org Subject: [SQL] Help with sub query Hi all, I want the last value from the group of rows. The table 'index_prices' is index_code price_time price XYZ 09:45:00 7.5 XYZ 09:46:00 7.4 XYZ 09:59:00 7.2 XYZ 10:00:00 7.3 XYZ 10:01:00 7.6 XYZ 10:02:00 7.3 . . . The other table 'times' is for time interval snapshot_time 10:00:00 10:30:00 11:00:00 I want the last value of the price between the interval of time. So I do select tm.index_code, tm.price_date, t.snapshot_time, last(tm.price) from index_prices_200703 tm, times t where tm.index_code = 'XYZ' and tm.price_time >= (t.snapshot_time - '30 minute' :: interval)::time and tm.price_time < t.snapshot_time group by t.snapshot_time, tm.price_date, tm.index_code order by tm.index_code, tm.price_date, t.snapshot_time; The last() doesn't work. Can this be done using sub query?
