I want to implement a message system using mysql for storage.
This is the table:
CREATE TABLE `message` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`id_from` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`id_to` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
`time` datetime NOT NULL,
`message` varchar(200) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
id_from is the msg sender, id_to is the msg receiver .
Below inserting 4 messages for testing purposes:
INSERT INTO `message`(`id`,`id_from`,`id_to`,`time`,`message`) VALUES
(1,1,2,'2012-07-05 12:18:49','msg1'),
(2,2,1,'2012-07-05 12:18:58','msg2'),
(3,3,1,'2012-07-05 12:19:04','msg3'),
(4,1,3,'2012-07-05 12:19:10','msg4');
What I want to do and not succeeding, is building a query that fetches the last sent or received message for each pair (id_from, id_to) for a specific user. In this case, the result would be:
row1: 2,2,1,'2012-07-05 12:18:58','msg2'
row2: 4,1,3,'2012-07-05 12:19:10','msg4'
选择* FROM消息,其中id_from = 1或id_to = 1?
SELECT id, id_from, id_to, time, message
FROM ( SELECT
FROM message
WHERE 1 IN (id_from, id_to) # 1 is user_id in this case
ORDER BY time DESC) AS h
GROUP BY LEAST(id_from, id_to), GREATEST(id_from, id_to)
Solution for gaining the last sent and received message (not what's asked for though)
SELECT id, id_from, id_to, time, message
FROM ( SELECT
FROM message
WHERE 1 IN (id_from, id_to) # 1 is user_id in this case
ORDER BY time DESC) AS h
GROUP BY id_from, id_to
Should do it I guess.
I'm sure there are "prettier" format to capture this in.
Consider:
SELECT id, 'from' AS type, id_from AS type_id, time, message
FROM message
WHERE id_to = 1
ORDER BY time DESC
LIMIT 1
UNION ALL
SELECT id, 'to', id_to, time, message
FROM message
WHERE id_from = 1
ORDER BY time DESC
LIMIT 1
This would give you:
id type type_id time message
3 from 3 2012-07-05 12:19:04 msg3
4 to 3 2012-07-05 12:19:10 msg4
