I want to find the 'usernames' who first access was in the last 12 hours.

I know how to get the first time each user have been logged with the following query

    mysql> select username,min(authdate) from radpostauth group by username;
+------------+---------------------+
| username   | min(authdate)       |
+------------+---------------------+
| 160059817  | 2013-05-27 00:53:56 |
| 2076877624 | 2013-05-26 02:01:53 |
| 2269664468 | 2013-05-26 01:43:57 |
| 3906187975 | 2013-05-26 22:00:30 |
| 4446830988 | 2013-05-26 02:02:28 |
| 6096753968 | 2013-05-26 01:42:30 |
| coconeja   | 2013-05-22 00:01:42 |
| distom11   | 2013-05-25 23:10:47 |
| doce       | 2013-05-26 00:46:48 |
| kk         | 2013-05-26 22:32:20 |
| pepe       | 2013-05-26 00:07:00 |
| test       | 2013-05-25 23:45:16 |
| timetest   | 2013-05-21 22:44:46 |

+------------+---------------------+

so now I am triying to get those usernames doing this:

select *
from radpostauth
where (
    select username,min(authdate)
    from radpostauth group by username
    ) > timediff( now(),maketime(12,0,0,) );

but obviouly it doesn't work...

Answer 1

select username, min(authdate) 
from radpostauth 
group by username
having min(authdate) > NOW() - INTERVAL 12 HOUR

In SQL, WHERE restricts rows, but HAVING restricts groups.

Answer 2

The perfect answer is Bill's here but for exhaustivity sake David's try is worth correcting:

SELECT *
FROM (
    SELECT username, MIN(authdate) as min_authdate
    FROM radpostauth
    GROUP BY username
) T
WHERE min_authdate > NOW() - INTERVAL 12 HOUR;
