Hello,

I will do 2 queries -
one for female users (to find "the miss of last month)
and one for males (the "mister of last month").

Here I can fetch all females rated nicely in June:

# select r.id, nice, r.last_rated
from pref_rep r, pref_users u
where r.nice=true and
to_char(current_timestamp - interval '1 month', 'IYYY-MM') =
to_char(r.last_rated, 'IYYY-MM') and
u.female=true and
r.id=u.id;

Do you think it's a good query?
(takes few seconds here)

What to do next to pick up
the person having most ratings?

(if there are several persons
having same amount - then I'd like
to pick 1 random - my website is so
obscure, that the users won't notice :-)

And I understand that it would be
most effective to run this query just
once on the 1st of the month,
but I'm too lazy to maintain the
cache files/data, so I want to re-run
query every time the script (actually
going to be a Drupal 7.4 block) runs
(I've switched the hourly block caching on).

Thank you
Alex
