I tried to find other help for this problem, but I just do not understand it. Suppose I have a table that looks like the one below.
+----+--------------+------------+
| id | date_col | label |
+----+--------------+------------+
| 1 | 2010-09-07 | Record 1 |
| 2 | 2010-09-03 | Record 2 |
| 3 | 2010-08-23 | Record 3 |
| 4 | 2010-08-23 | Record 4 |
| 5 | 2010-08-23 | Record 5 |
| 6 | 2010-08-12 | Record 6 |
| 7 | 2010-08-06 | Record 7 |
| 8 | 2010-08-06 | Record 8 |
| 9 | 2010-08-02 | Record 9 |
| 10 | 2010-08-01 | Record 10 |
+----+--------------+------------+
Upon request, I order these records in accordance with date_coland use id(or indeed any other arbitrary column) to order with duplicate dates.
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY date_col DESC, id DESC");
, , . , date_col , , , . (, this_date - date_col, this_id - id , )
mysql_query("SELECT id FROM table WHERE date_col > this_date ORDER BY date_col DESC, id DESC LIMIT 1");
:
mysql_query("SELECT id FROM table WHERE date_col > this_date AND NOT id=this_id ORDER BY date_col DESC, id DESC LIMIT 1");
, , - : β4, date_col DESC id DESC, β 5, id # 3, .
- , ? .
