Hello:
I have a table with pluviometrical data
meteo (rain float, day date, oid station)
I want to select the the day of maximum value for each year for a given
measurement station. It should look like :
select max(rain),day from meteo group by date_part('year', day) where
station=7654765;
though it obiously doesn't work.
I think that an aggregate function would be the best way to do this,
because the table is quite large and I need indexes for date and also
for stations, so adding a new one for the rain is too much. But the
aggregate should look like:
max_rain(rain, day) and return the day corresponding to the maximum
rain, So the query would be something like:
select max(rain), max_rain(rain, day) from meteo group by
date_part('year', day) where station=47654765;
I've tried to define a composite type for rain and day and the neccesary
functions to make the aggregate, but I cannot find the correct way. Can
someone help me? Is this sollution possible?
