I would like to be a ble to get a bunch of payments from a payment table. I want to return not the last payment the payment before that for all customers.

I have tried

select max(paymentid) as paymentid
   from tblpayment
   where paymentdebit > 0
   and paymentid not in (select max(paymentid) as paymentid
   from tblpayment
   where paymentdebit > 0
   group by customerid)

the cost on this thru the roof

NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Aggregate (cost=1520829785.44..1520829785.44 rows=1 width=4)
-> Seq Scan on tblpayment (cost=0.00..1520829707.94 rows=31002 width=4)
        SubPlan

the same query rewritten using exist has a better time but still much to long

EXPLAIN

is there a better way to get the max - 1?

I could loop through and run the queriy for each customer but the cost on ten thousand quesries is rather high also?

You could try ORDER BY paymentid DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1.  That'll give
you the second from the top of the list, according to the order you
used.

I was able to do this with following query

select max(paymentid) as paymentid
    from
    (
      select paymentid ,customerid
      from tblpayment
     except
      (select max(paymentid) as paymentid, customerid
      from tblpayment
      )
    ) as this
    group by customerid

This will get me the max for each customer yet I need it for each month so I could run this query for each month which is much better that on for each customer I think that I can get it better though.

wouldn't you want LIMIT 2 OFFSET 1 ?

No, he only wants one record.  But actually, he wanted one record per
customer, so my suggestion didn't help.

Sure it does!

select customersid, paymentid
from tblpayment p1
where paymentdebit > 0 and paymentid = (
  select paymentid
  from tblpayment p2
  where p2.paymentdebit > 0 and p2.customerid = p1.customerid
  order by paymentid desc limit 1 offset 1);

Here si the explain plan on this.  Not very fast.

Seq Scan on tblpayment p1  (cost=0.00..5422453.14 rows=1 width=8)
  SubPlan
    ->  Limit  (cost=36.69..36.69 rows=1 width=4)
          ->  Sort  (cost=36.69..36.69 rows=2 width=4)
                ->  Index Scan using tblpayment_idx on tblpayment p2
(cost=0.00..36.68 rows=2 width=4)

EXPLAIN

Good news though I figured out how to get it done quickly.

select
 lastmonth.paymentid as lmpayment ,max(beforemonth.paymentid) as
paymentid,  date_trunc('month',lastmonth.paymentdate) as
lmpaymentdate,lastmonth.loginid
            from tblpayment as lastmonth, tblpayment as
beforemonth
            where
                lastmonth.customerid =
beforemonth.customerid
                and lastmonth.paymentid >
beforemonth.paymentid
                and lastmonth.paymentdebit > 0
                    and beforemonth.paymentdebit > 0
            group by
                   lastmonth.paymentid,
date_trunc('month',lastmonth.paymentdate), lastmonth.customerid
            ) as tp1           join tblpayment using
(paymentid)


I wanted the payment before the last on a per month basis so I added
that in.  If you take out the references to date then if would give the
payment before the last payment for each customer
Here is the explain for this query

Aggregate  (cost=17355.43..17560.13 rows=2047 width=24)
  ->  Group  (cost=17355.43..17508.95 rows=20470 width=24)
        ->  Sort  (cost=17355.43..17355.43 rows=20470 width=24)
              ->  Merge Join  (cost=14836.39..15889.66 rows=20470
width=24)
                    ->  Sort  (cost=7418.19..7418.19 rows=26424
width=16)
                          ->  Seq Scan on tblpayment lastmonth
(cost=0.00..5477.39 rows=26424 width=16)
                    ->  Sort  (cost=7418.19..7418.19 rows=26424 width=8)
                          ->  Seq Scan on tblpayment beforemonth
(cost=0.00..5477.39 rows=26424 width=8)

EXPLAIN


A whole lot better.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Sure it does!

select customersid, paymentid
