Re: all the table values equal

Howdy, Michele.
Any news?
Any progress/problems?

If you want to find out all the id_users who don't change value in a given time interval
you can use something like this.

SELECT "id_user","value"
FROM (
SELECT "id_user", COUNT(*) as total
FROM t_yourtable
WHERE "datetime" BETWEEN '2010-9-1' -- Interval beginning
AND '2010-9-11' -- interval end
GROUP BY "id_user"
) as foo
NATURAL JOIN
(
SELECT "id_user","value",COUNT(*) as total
FROM t_yourtable
WHERE "datetime" BETWEEN '2010-9-1' -- again, plug interval beginning here
AND '2010-9-11' -- and interval end here
GROUP BY "id_user","value"
) as bar

This will give you the users who didn't change value on the time interval.
Finally, if you want to
look for a specific value just add the clause "WHERE "value" = x -- x=the specific value you want to look for
to the query above. It'll return just the id_user(s) that have just the "value" x.

Please try it out and feel free to get back to me if it didn't work or if it didn't solve your problem

Best,
Oliver
