Top x rows and group by (again)
- by Tibor Szasz
Hello,
I know it's a frequent question but I just can't figure it out and the examples I found didn't helped. What I learned, the best strategy is to try to find the top and bottom values of the top range and then select the rest, but implementing is a bit tricky.
Example table:
id | title | group_id | votes
I'd like to get the top 3 voted rows from the table, for each group.
I'm expecting this result:
91 | hello1 | 1 | 10
28 | hello2 | 1 | 9
73 | hello3 | 1 | 8
84 | hello4 | 2 | 456
58 | hello5 | 2 | 11
56 | hello6 | 2 | 0
17 | hello7 | 3 | 50
78 | hello8 | 3 | 9
99 | hello9 | 3 | 1
I've fond complex queries and examples, but they didn't really helped.
