You've defined getnote() as returning a single getnote_t value I think
you probably want "RETURNS SETOF getnote_t".

[SQL] Pulling additional columns with aggregate

2009-10-08 Thread sub3 

Hi,

I have 2 tables.  I want to be able to calculate the closest value in one
(tempvalues), to the closest value in the other (points).  This closest
point, I want to save into the table with its difference.

So if I have:

create table points (
  id integer,
  center double precision
);
insert into points values (1, 1),(2,4),(3,7),(4,12);


CREATE TABLE tempvalues (
  id serial NOT NULL,
  "value" double precision,
  closest_point_id integer,
  distance_to_point double precision,
  CONSTRAINT tempvalues_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id),
  CONSTRAINT tempvalues_closest_point_id_fkey FOREIGN KEY (closest_point_id)
  REFERENCES points (id) MATCH SIMPLE
  ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
);
insert into tempvalues (value) values
(1.1),(2.2),(3.3),(4.4),(5.5),(6.6),(7.7),(8.8),(9.9),
(10.1),(11.1),(12.2),(13.3),(14.4),(15.5),(16.6),(17.7),(18.8),(19.9),(20.0);


I would like to see each row in tempvalues populated with the closest point
from points and its difference.

I know I can find the cartesian product of the 2 tables, and get the
distance between all values.
  select tempvalues.id as tid, points.id as pid,
min(abs(points.center-tempvalues.value))
  from points, tempvalues group by tempvalues.id,points.id  order by tid,pid

But I can't figure out how to return the result w/only 1 row per
tempvalue.id (the minimum) and still get the id column from each table. Any
aggregate with force those columns out.


I would love to do something like:
  update tempvalues set closest_point_id,distance_to_point from (above
query)
but haven't been able to figure this out.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

this query return de min value and both id


Select q11.tid, min_value2
from (

    select tid, min(min_value) as min_value2
    from (
        select tempvalues.id as tid, points.id as pid,
