Selecting max for each day
Posted by: scurvy rat

I'm trying to get the max value from a column for each day in a db. i can get the max without a problem, but the date returned is just the first entry for that date, not the datetime associated with the max value.

the db has a field s1 decimal(5,2) and insert_time datetime

the select i'm trying is:
SELECT max(s1) AS max,insert_time,DATE_FORMAT(insert_time,'%Y-%m-%d') AS ymd from TABLE group by ymd

I get the max values no problem, but the insert_time is for a different row (specifically the first entry for that day.

+--------+---------------------+------------+
| max | insert_time | ymd |
+--------+---------------------+------------+
| 142.30 | 2009-06-21 00:00:30 | 2009-06-21 |
| 140.70 | 2009-06-22 00:00:30 | 2009-06-22 |
| 140.70 | 2009-06-23 00:00:30 | 2009-06-23 |
+--------+---------------------+------------+

on the 21st of june the insert_time that has s1=142.30 is 2009-06-21 09:16:30.

any help appreciated!
