Hello,
I save values in some tables (simpler description) First a Table who saved the timestamp of the mensuration Table A timestamps ID primary key TS timestamp Second a Table with the measured data (25 records/measured sensors will be saved every 10 Minutes, one record in Table A, 25 in Table B) Table B mensuration ID primary key ID_counter integer of item to measure ID_Timestamp foreign key of Table A Value (double precision) Now I would like to make an analysis. At the time, I do this: for select cast(ts as date) as mz from tablea where ts >= "criteria from" and ts < "criteria to" group by mz) into :messzeit do begin f_messwert = null; MESSWERTE = ''; for select a.id_counter, sum(a.value) from tableb a left join tablea b on a.id_timestamp = b.id where cast(b.ts as date) = :messzeit group by a.id_counter into :i_zae, :f_messwert do begin if(f_messwert is null) then f_messwert = 0; MESSWERTE = MESSWERTE || cast(:i_zae as varchar(4)) || '=' || cast(:f_messwert as varchar(8)) || ';'; end suspend; end The Result is one returned record for each day (day, conter 1 = 123; counter 2 = 222;.) It takes a long time but I must integrate the tablea on the second part of the statement. How can I optimize this in firebird? Thank you Regards Olaf
