I’m looking to get the max discrepancy between two tables per day, per id. I have the following data in a mysql database <pre><code>insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 1, 10); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 1, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 2, 10); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 2, 10); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 3, 15); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-10', 3, 15); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 1, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 1, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 2, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 2, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 3, 5); insert into test.foo values ('2010-01-11', 3, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 1, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 1, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 2, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 2, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 3, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-10', 3, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 1, 10); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 1, 10); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 2, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 2, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 3, 5); insert into test.bar values ('2010-01-11', 3, 5); </code></pre> Here is my query: <pre><code>SELECT t1.`date`, t1.id, t1.sums, t2.sums, max(t1.sums - t2.sums) FROM (select `date`, id, sum(val) sums from test.foo group by `date`, id) as t1, (select `date`, id, sum(val) sums from test.bar group by `date`, id) as t2 WHERE t1.`date` = t2.`date` AND t1.id = t2.id group by t1.`date` </code></pre> I’m getting this result: <pre><code>+---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ | date | id | sums | sums | max(t1.sums - t2.sums) | +---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ | 2010-01-10 00:00:00 | 1 | 15 | 10 | 20 | | 2010-01-11 00:00:00 | 1 | 10 | 20 | 0 | +---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) </code></pre> I’d like to be getting this result: I’m getting this result: <pre><code>+---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ | date | id | sums | sums | max(t1.sums - t2.sums) | +---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ | 2010-01-10 00:00:00 | 1 | 15 | 10 | 20 | | 2010-01-11 00:00:00 | 2 | 10 | 10 | 0 | <----- +---------------------+----+------+------+------------------------+ </code></pre> Can anyone help me? I’d like to be getting the max difference, and then the line that went along with it. This query gives me the correct difference, but not the id and sums that go with it. A colleague suggested also grouping by id, but as I thought, that just flattened out the result and each id was listed instead of the one id for the day that had the max difference. Thanks much in advance

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
