Hiya Folks!
I'm struggling with a complicated subquery issue, and my SQL-fu isn't strong
enough to make a solution apparent. Hopefully one of you experts can give me a
nudge in the right direction :)
The query utilizes data from just one table, which looks like:
idX integer
idY tinyint unsigned,
idZ tinyint,
c1 smallint,
c2 smallint,
c3 smallint,
... [and so on] ...
What I'd like to do is select a set of the channel data (the c* fields) based on
rows where the standard deviation on a given channel is below a certain
threshold for the rows "near" that one, based on the values of the id fields.
Getting the standard deviation on a single field for a given row isn't too bad:
select std(c2330) from radiances where idZ between 44 and 46 and idX between 12
and 14, and idX = 7;
That query selects the standard deviation for channel 2330, in the 9
"footprints" around the current point I'm looking at. Selecting the channels I
need to analyze based on that should just using that select inside an IF
statement.
The trick is, how to automate this to iterate over all the id* fields? idX is
an auto_increment counter based on observation time, idY and idZ are tied to
specific observations within a given set, and are integer counters that vary
from 0-150 or so.
Is there a way to do this with one (or more) sql queries, or would I be better
off writing a specific program for doing the selection?
Thanks for the help!
