You can use Postgres WINDOW functions for this in several different ways. For example, one way of doing it:
select stts_id, last_value(stts_offset) over (partition by stts_id order by stts_offset desc) + last_value(stts_duration) over (partition by stts_id order by stts_offset desc) from table group by stts_id; ________________________________________ Venky Kandaswamy Principal Engineer, Adchemy Inc. 925-200-7124 ________________________________________ From: pgsql-sql-ow...@postgresql.org <pgsql-sql-ow...@postgresql.org> on behalf of Gary Stainburn <gary.stainb...@ringways.co.uk> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2013 10:57 AM To: pgsql-sql@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [SQL] value from max row in group by As usual, once I've asked the question, I find the answer myself.
