Hi

create table abc
(
remote_host    varchar(50),request_uri    varchar(50),ts timestamp 
);

SELECT abc.remote_host ,  c , abc.request_uri , a.t FROM abc , ( select remote_host , count(*) as c , max( ts ) as t from abc group by remote_host ) as a 
where a.remote_host = abc.remote_host and abc.ts = a.t

Hi!!

Of course the following is possible in various ways but i wonder
if there is an elegant and simple solution:

A part from apache log:
remote_host    varchar(50)
request_uri    varchar(50)
ts             timestamp with time zone

Now i want to see which host has done how many requests. This
is not difficult:

SELECT remote_host, count(*) FROM apache_log GROUP BY remote_host;

But now i would like to add a column to the result which
shows the most recent requested uri for each group.
This sounds quite easy at first glance but i see no simple solution.

I suppose with max(ts) i could acquire the time of the
most recent request within the group, but how do i get
the corresponding request_uri without doing subquerys or
something like that?

Thank you very much!

Klaus

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
