MySQL选择ID对的最后一个条目

Question

我想使用mysql实现存储的消息系统。

这是表：

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是味精发送方，id_to是味精接收方。

下面插入4条消息进行测试：

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');

我想做的但没有成功的事，是建立一个查询，以为特定用户获取每对消息对（id_from，id_to）的最后发送或接收的消息。 在这种情况下，结果将是：

row1: 2,2,1,'2012-07-05 12:18:58','msg2'
row2: 4,1,3,'2012-07-05 12:19:10','msg4'

Answer 1

选择* FROM消息，其中id_from = 1或id_to = 1？

Answer 2

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)

获取最后发送和接收的消息的解决方案 （虽然不是要求的内容）

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

我猜应该这样做。

我确定有“更漂亮”的格式可以捕捉到它。

考虑：

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

这将为您提供：

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
