Hello all, first a bit of information.
I have the following tables:
listeners (username text, first_name text, last_name text, email text, station
char(10) );
listeners_data (username text, signup_date, zip_text text);
testmaster (username text, test_date date, station char(10) );
Now what I need to do is select all the users who have taken a test (for a
particular station) within, say the last so many number of days. The following
select statement does that. However I need the following select statement to
work inside of another select statement.
select distinct username, station from testmaster t1 where 1 < ( select count(t2.username) from testmaster
t2 where t2.test_date > '05-14-1999' and t2.station = 'WZZZ' and t1.username = t2.username )
;
I already have this select statement:select first_name, email from listeners l, listeners_data ld where l.username =
ld.usernamea
nd l.station = 'XXXX';
Now this select statement must only grab data if l.username exists in the data
retrieved from the first select statement I listed. This seems awefully
convoluded to me, and I expect on a large table, this could take a long time.
Therefore, I am open to any thoughts on a better way to do this. Please let me
know if you need any more information and I will be glad to provide it.
Darren
