I have a table say "sample" which saves a new record each five minutes. Users might ask for data collected for a specific sampling interval of say 10 min or 30 min or an hour.
Since I have a record every five minutes, when a user asks for data with a hour sample interval, I will have to club/group every 12 (60/5) records in to one record (already sorted based on the time-stamp), and the criteria could be either min/max/avg/last value.
I was trying to do this in Java once I fetch all the records, and am seeing pretty bad performance as I have to iterate through the collection multiple times, I have read of other alternatives like jAgg and lambdaj, but wanted to check if that's possible in SQL (MySQL) itself.
The sampling interval is dynamic and the aggregation function (min/max/avg/last) too is user provided.
Any pointers ?
You can do this in SQL, but you have to carefully construct the statement. Here is an example by hour for all four aggregations:
select min(datetime) as datetime,
min(val) as minval, max(val) as maxval, avg(val) as avgval,
substring_index(group_concat(val order by datetime desc), ',', 1) as lastval
from table t
group by floor(to_seconds(datetime) / (60*60));
