Subject: Aggregate query for multiple records
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 00:23:05 -0600
Message-ID: <641FEEDD-F728-11D8-A763-000393801C60@g-it.ca> (raw)

Hello, I am new to the list, my apology if this question is beyond the 
scope or charter of this list.

My questions is:
What is the best method to perform an aggregate query to calculate 
sum() values for each distinct wid as in the example below, but except 
for all wid's (not just WHERE wid='01/1-6-1-30w1/0').

Also, performance wise, would it be better to build a function for this 
query.  The table has 9 million records and these aggregate queries 
take hours.


SELECT
   SUM(oil) as sumoil, SUM(hours) as sumhours,
FROM
   (SELECT oil, hours prd_data WHERE wid='01/1-6-1-30w1/0'
    ORDER BY date LIMIT 6) subtable
;


Table description:
               Table "prd_data"
  Column |         Type          | Modifiers
--------+-----------------------+-----------
  date   | integer               |
  hours  | real                  |
  oil    | real                  |
  gas    | real                  |
  water  | real                  |
  pwid   | integer               |
  wid    | character varying(20) |
  year   | smallint              |
Indexes: wid_index6


Actual table (prd_data), 9 million records:

   date  | hours |  oil  | gas  | water | pwid |       wid       | year
