Question

From MySQL database, I want to get all last rows of each hour in a day, the table look like this,

Id Name Vcum Date Time ------------------------------------------
1 A 5.5 2014-11-20 09:00
2 B 4.3 2014-11-20 09:05
3 A 6.7 2014-11-20 09:10
4 C 5.9 2014-11-20 09:10
5 A 7.2 2014-11-20 09:20
6 C 6.5 2014-11-20 09:25
7 B 8.1 2014-11-20 09:30
8 C 9.4 2014-11-20 09:35
9 A 6.5 2014-11-20 10:05

Is that possible to get the following result by using sql? Id Name Vcum Date Time

8 C 9.4 2014-11-20 09:35 <-- Last row of HOUR(Time) = 9 for Name = C
13 A 8.8 2014-11-20 10:39 <-- Last row of HOUR(Time) =10 for Name = A
15 B 9.9 2014-11-20 10:42 <-- Last row of HOUR(Time) =10 for Name = B
14 C 9.8 2014-11-20 10:42 <-- Last row of HOUR(Time) =10 for Name = C


Answer 1

hint : you have to do like

   select maxTime from tableName group by HOUR

this will work i hope so

Answer 2

Try this:

SELECT a.Id, a.Name, a.Vcum, a.Date, a.Time 
FROM tableA a 
INNER JOIN (SELECT a.Name, a.Date, MAX(a.Time) colTIme 
                FROM tableA a
                GROUP BY a.Name, a.Date
                ) b ON a.Name = b.Name AND a.Date = b.Date AND a.Time = b.colTime
