测试mysql版本 mysql 5.5.53 和 5.5.56,存在以下问题
mysql> select * from test; +----+-------+------+-------+ | id | name | age | class | +----+-------+------+-------+ | 1 | qiu | 22 | 1 | | 2 | liu | 42 | 1 | | 4 | zheng | 20 | 2 | | 3 | qian | 20 | 2 | | 0 | wang | 11 | 3 | | 6 | li | 33 | 3 | +----+-------+------+-------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
如果想找到每个class里面的最大的age,则需要使用group by和max。
如下的sql语句,则输出结果有错误:
mysql> select id,name,max(age),class from test group by class; +----+-------+----------+-------+ | id | name | max(age) | class | +----+-------+----------+-------+ | 1 | qiu | 42 | 1 | | 4 | zheng | 20 | 2 | | 0 | wang | 33 | 3 | +----+-------+----------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
虽然找到的age是最大的age,但是与之匹配的用户信息却不是真实的信息,而是group by分组后的第一条记录的基本信息。
如果我使用以下的语句进行查找,则可以返回真实的结果。
mysql> select * from (select * from test order by age desc) as b group by class; +----+-------+------+-------+ | id | name | age | class | +----+-------+------+-------+ | 2 | liu | 42 | 1 | | 4 | zheng | 20 | 2 | | 6 | li | 33 | 3 | +----+-------+------+-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
