MySQL - 得到总和（）分组的最大（）组

Question

I have table structure like below. Each row is one played game, each person can play many or none times in each month.

id  |  person  |  score  |   date  |
------------------------------------
1   |    32    |  444    | 2011-05 |
2   |    65    |  528    | 2011-05 |
3   |    77    |  455    | 2011-05 |
4   |    32    |  266    | 2011-06 |
5   |    77    |  100    | 2011-06 |
6   |    77    |  457    | 2011-06 |
7   |    77    |  457    | 2011-06 |
8   |    65    |  999    | 2011-07 |
9   |    32    |  222    | 2011-07 |

I am trying to get for each person sum of its best score in each month. S result of above should be:

 person  | SUM(ofbestofeachmonth)
---------------------------------
  32     |  932
  65     |  1527
  77     |  912

I know how to fetch the bests scores per userin month or some range

SELECT person, date, MAX(score) FROM tabgames WHERE MONTH(date) = 6 GROUP BY person HAVING (score>0)

Because i need in the end output per quarter of year, now i am fetching best for each month and outside the MySQL i am adding.

Now i am reading about group-wise max and still try to get excpected results. Any help

Answer 1

Subqueries:

SELECT person, SUM(best)
FROM
    (SELECT person, MAX(score) as best
    FROM tabgames
    WHERE MONTH(`date`) >= 1 AND MONTH(`date`) <= 6 
    GROUP BY person, MONTH(`date`)) as bests
GROUP BY person

Now the subquery is grouped by person and MONTH(date), so it will return a row for each month.

Answer 2

Select t.person,Max(t.Score) from 
(
Select person,Sum(Score) as Score,Month('Date') as [Month]  From tabgames
WHERE MONTH(`date`) >= 1 AND MONTH(`date`) <= 6 
GROUP BY PERSON,Month

) AS t
