indexed.
actually,its more likely product is indexed that criteria_1 or _2...
Note: in this case when there is a tie one provider is arbitrarily
selected
select mx.product,
mx.max_criteria_1,
(select provider from products_providers pp
where pp.product=mx.product
order by criteria_1 desc limit 1) as best_provider_1,
mx.max_criteria_2,
(select provider from products_providers pp
where pp.product=mx.product
order by criteria_2 desc limit 1) as best_provider_2
from
(select
product,
max(criteria_1) as max_criteria_1
max(criteria_2) as max_criteria_2
from products_providers
group by product) mx;

Subject: [GENERAL] Complicated GROUP BY
Dear All,
I have the following problem with grouping: I want to know the maximum
in a group as well as the maximal element. Example:
I have a table products_providers:
product | provider | criteria_1 | criteria_2
I have a number of products, each of them from a several providers.
Each product is described by two numeric values. I can easily select
the best value for each product by a given criteria, like:
select product, max(criteria_1) from products_providers group by
product;
but I need to know the best-scoring provider as well.
Result I need should look like:
product | best_provider_1 | best_criteria_1 | best_provider_2 |
best_criteria_2
If it counts results may be split into two tables: one for the first
and the other for the second criteria
Can you help me with a painless solution?
Dominik
