Een optie zou een query zijn die werkt met gebruikersvariabelen om een rangschikking te genereren op basis van datum. En selecteer alleen de drie laatste datums.
Zoekopdracht
SELECT
*
FROM (
SELECT
*
, CASE
WHEN @supplier = supplier
THEN @rank := @rank + 1
ELSE @rank := 1
END
AS rank
, @supplier := supplier
FROM
Expenses
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT
@supplier := NULL
, @rank := 0
)
AS
init_user_params
WHERE
product_id = 1
ORDER BY
supplier ASC
, DATE DESC
)
AS Expenses_ranked
WHERE
Expenses_ranked.rank <= 3
Resultaat
id product_id cost quantity supplier date @supplier := NULL @rank := 0 rank @supplier := supplier
------ ---------- ------ -------- -------- ---------- ----------------- ---------- ------ -----------------------
4 1 3.98 2 1 2017-09-22 (NULL) 0 1 1
3 1 2.50 1 1 2017-09-20 (NULL) 0 2 1
1 1 2.99 1 1 2017-09-05 (NULL) 0 3 1
6 1 8.00 2 2 2017-09-27 (NULL) 0 1 2
5 1 4.00 1 2 2017-09-25 (NULL) 0 2 2
2 1 3.00 2 2 2017-09-10 (NULL) 0 3 2
Op basis van die resultaten wordt een gemiddelde lijst per leverancier gegenereerd.
Zoekopdracht
SELECT
Expenses_ranked.supplier
, AVG(Expenses_ranked.cost / Expenses_ranked.quantity) AS AVG
FROM (
SELECT
*
, CASE
WHEN @supplier = supplier
THEN @rank := @rank + 1
ELSE @rank := 1
END
AS rank
, @supplier := supplier
FROM
Expenses
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT
@supplier := NULL
, @rank := 0
)
AS
init_user_params
WHERE
product_id = 1
ORDER BY
supplier ASC
, DATE DESC
)
AS Expenses_ranked
WHERE
Expenses_ranked.rank <= 3
GROUP BY
Expenses_ranked.supplier
Resultaat

2 3.1666666667
Nu kunnen we een eenvoudige ORDER BY [] ASC LIMIT 1 . gebruiken om de goedkoopste leverancier te krijgen
Zoekopdracht
SELECT
Expenses_ranked_avg.supplier AS cheapest_supplier
FROM (
SELECT
Expenses_ranked.supplier
, AVG(Expenses_ranked.cost / Expenses_ranked.quantity) AS AVG
FROM (
SELECT
*
, CASE
WHEN @supplier = supplier
THEN @rank := @rank + 1
ELSE @rank := 1
END
AS rank
, @supplier := supplier
FROM
Expenses
CROSS JOIN (
SELECT
@supplier := NULL
, @rank := 0
)
AS
init_user_params
WHERE
product_id = 1
ORDER BY
supplier ASC
, DATE DESC
)
AS
Expenses_ranked
WHERE
Expenses_ranked.rank <= 3
GROUP BY
Expenses_ranked.supplier
)
AS Expenses_ranked_avg
ORDER BY
Expenses_ranked_avg.avg ASC
LIMIT 1
Resultaat

Meer optimale zoekopdrachten.
Wat ook mogelijk is om de gebruikersvariabelen binnen het waar-statement te declareren. Waardoor het direct mogelijk is om de ranking uit te filteren.
Zoekopdracht
SELECT
*
FROM
Expenses
WHERE
(
CASE
WHEN @supplier = supplier
THEN @rank := @rank + 1
ELSE @rank := 1
END
)
AND
(@supplier := supplier )
AND
@rank <= 3
AND
product_id = 1
ORDER BY
supplier ASC
, DATE ASC
Resultaat
id product_id cost quantity supplier date
------ ---------- ------ -------- -------- ------------
1 1 2.99 1 1 2017-09-05
3 1 2.50 1 1 2017-09-20
4 1 3.98 2 1 2017-09-22
2 1 3.00 2 2 2017-09-10
5 1 4.00 1 2 2017-09-25
6 1 8.00 2 2 2017-09-27
Nu is het gemakkelijk om deze resultatenset te gebruiken om de goedkoopste leverancier te vinden.
