something like:
test=*# select * from log;
id | ts | object_id | state_id
----+----------------------------+-----------+----------
1 | 2010-08-04 13:24:19.648437 | 1 | 1
2 | 2010-08-04 13:24:26.957629 | 1 | 2
3 | 2010-08-04 13:24:38.883519 | 1 | 3
4 | 2010-08-04 13:24:43.60719 | 1 | 2
5 | 2010-08-04 13:24:51.123276 | 1 | 4
(5 rows)
test=*#
test=*#
test=*#
select max(case when row_number=1 then id else null end) as current_state_id,
max(case when row_number=2 then id else null end) as last_state_id,
max(case when row_number=1 then state_id else null end) as current_state,
max(case when row_number=2 then state_id else null end) as last_state
from ((select 1 as row_number, * from log where object_id=1 and ts < '2010-08-04 13:24:38.883520' order by ts desc limit 1) union all
(select 2, * fromlog where object_id=1 and ts < '2010-08-04 13:24:38.883520' order by ts desc limit 1 offset 1)) foo ;
current_state_id | last_state_id | current_state | last_state
------------------+---------------+---------------+------------
3 | 2 | 3 | 2
(1 row)
As you can see, the where-condition contains a timestamp that isn't in the table, it's after the id=3.
Maybe there are other, better solutions...
HTH, Andreas
