Jasen,
(1,20:04) is excluded because it's timestamp is less than 5 minutes from the
previous record with the same ID (1,20:03), (0,20:05) is included for the
opposite reason.
Let me restate my requirement again with a little more detail. I want to
select records grouped by ID, ordered by timestamp, in ascending order so I'm
starting with the oldest, that are at least X minutes apart.
I hope that helps.
Thanks again,
Wayne
