Question

Here the structure of the database (reduced):

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `TK_servers` (
  `id` int(11),
  `server_id` varchar(11) ,
  `worker_id` varchar(20) ,
  `date_ins` datetime ,
  `avg` varchar(10)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1  ;

INSERT INTO `TK_servers` (`id`, `server_id`, `worker_id`, `date_ins`, `avg`)

I want to list the MAX (avg) corresponding to worker_id.

SELECT * FROM  `TK_servers`
JOIN (SELECT max(`avg`), (`id`) id FROM `TK_servers`
 WHERE `server_id` = '31'
 GROUP BY LEFT(date_ins,16) )
t2 ON t2.id = `TK_servers`.`id`

Result :

ID     SERVER_ID  WORKER_ID   DATE_INS                        AVG     MAX(`AVG`)
108250    31      srva        April, 10 2014 12:00:31+0000    2.337   31.183 
108190    31      srva        April, 10 2014 11:55:31+0000    2.500   30.766 
108130    31      srva        April, 10 2014 11:50:31+0000    2.538   30.948 
108070    31      srva        April, 10 2014 11:45:32+0000    2.502   30.827 
......

error the max(avg) is worker_id srvb

Answer 1

Compare and contrast...

SELECT * FROM tk_servers ORDER BY avg DESC LIMIT 1;
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+-------+
| id     | server_id | worker_id | date_ins            | avg   |
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+-------+
| 108068 | 10        | srva      | 2014-04-10 11:45:32 | 9.202 |
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+-------+

SELECT * FROM tk_servers ORDER BY avg+0 DESC LIMIT 1;
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+--------+
| id     | server_id | worker_id | date_ins            | avg    |
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+--------+
| 108041 | 19        | srvb      | 2014-04-10 11:45:22 | 46.626 |
+--------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+--------+

So, hopefully this underlines the importance of using the correct data types. In this case, it should be DECIMAL(6,3) NULL, not VARCHAR!

Answer 2

the problem is your avgerage column is in varchar you should must change.

and then use the code like:

select id, server_id, worker_id, date_ins ,max(avg) from tk_servers

http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/4d3529/32

UPDATE:1

SELECT * 
FROM  `TK_servers`
JOIN 
(
SELECT 
  max(`avg`), 
      (`id`) id 
  FROM `TK_servers`
  WHERE `server_id` = '31'
  GROUP BY LEFT(date_ins,16) 
)t2 
ON t2.id = `TK_servers`.`id`
LIMIT 1;

Answer 3

Change the data type of AVG field from varchar to double and then try to fetch the MAX(AVG) it will work.

Hope the avg is making the problem
