the trick seems to be to GROUP BY datetime
and to use a HAVING clause to reject the unwanted groups using
count(distinct()) to ensure coverage of the list.
-- a table
create temp table medidas(id_medida serial,id_ponto integer,datetime timestamp);
-- some test data.
insert into medidas (id_ponto,datetime) select floor(random()*30+1),('today'::timestamp +
floor(generate_series(0,100000)/10)*'1s'::interval);
-- the query:
-- note you need to paste the list of number in two different places
-- in the query, postgres only counts the length once.
select datetime from medidas where id_ponto in (10,11,23,24,27) group by datetime having count(distinct(id_ponto)) =
array_length(array[10,11,23,24,27],1) order by datetime desc limit 1;
-- confirmation
select * from medidas where datetime = ( select datetime from medidas where id_ponto in (10,11,23,24,27) group
bydatetime having count(distinct(id_ponto)) = array_length(array[10,11,23,24,27],1) order by datetime desc limit 1
)order by id_ponto;
what's this for?
Are you looking at keno results to see how recently your pick would have won?
