在MySQL中按限制和条件删除记录

Question

我在MySQL数据库之一中有一个名为log的表。 它用于记录用户操作。 当它变得很大时，我想删除一些记录。

SELECT `userid`, `timestamp` 
FROM `log`
ORDER `timestamp` ASC

输出是

userid    timestamp
     2    120000
     3    123333
     1    123456
     1    124444
     2    125555
     2    126666
     1    127777
     1    128888
     2    129999
     3    130000
     1    131111

我想做的是-我只想为每个用户保留最后3条记录 。 因此，我需要为每个用户删除第4、5，...，n个记录。 根据以上示例，期望输出为

userid    timestamp
     3    123333
     2    125555
     2    126666
     1    127777
     1    128888
     2    129999
     3    130000
     1    131111

我知道可以使用LIMIT删除记录。

 DELETE FROM `log` LIMIT 3

仅删除3条记录。 它根本无法得到我想要的结果。

我试过的是

DELETE FROM
`log`
WHERE `userid` IN (
SELECT `userid` FROM (SELECT `userid`, COUNT(1) AS C
FROM `log`
GROUP BY `userid`
HAVING C > 3) CountTable ) LIMIT 3

这不是我想要的。

尝试这个：

DELETE l FROM `log` l 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT l.userid, l.timestamp
           FROM (SELECT l.userid, l.timestamp, 
                        IF(@lastUserId = @lastUserId:=userid, @Idx:=@Idx+1, @Idx:=0) rowNumber 
                 FROM `log` l, (SELECT @lastUserId:=0, @Idx:=0) A
                 ORDER BY l.userid, l.timestamp DESC
                ) AS A
           WHERE rowNumber < 3
          ) AS A ON l.userid = A.userid AND l.timestamp = A.timestamp 
WHERE A.userid IS NULL

编辑：

DELETE l FROM `log` l 
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
          SELECT 1
          FROM (SELECT l.userid, l.timestamp, 
                       IF(@lastUserId = @lastUserId:=userid, @Idx:=@Idx+1, @Idx:=0) rowNumber 
                FROM `log` l, (SELECT @lastUserId:=0, @Idx:=0) A
                ORDER BY l.userid, l.timestamp DESC
               ) AS A
          WHERE l.userid = A.userid AND l.timestamp = A.timestamp AND rowNumber < 3
         )

请尝试以下SQL：

DELETE FROM log WHERE find_in_set(
    TIMESTAMP, (
        SELECT group_concat(t3) t4 FROM (
            SELECT 1 AS dummy,
            replace(group_concat(TIMESTAMP ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC), concat(SUBSTRING_INDEX(group_concat(TIMESTAMP ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC), ',', 3), ','), '') t3
            FROM log
            GROUP BY user_id HAVING count(*) > 3
        ) a GROUP BY dummy
    )
)
