Hi Dimitras.

MonetDB indeed does not support LIMIT in subqueries. A simple workaround is just storing the result of the subquery in a temporary table (https://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Manuals/SQLreference/Tables) and then referring to this temporary table in the main query.

Maybe not an ideal solution, but it will work.

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. I hope stethoscope will help.

One more question, not relevant to the previous one but I hope it's OK not to open a new thread.

I'm trying to run the BestSellers query from TPC-W on MonetDB.

The query works as follows:

- Take the smallest order id from the most recent 3333 orders.

- Then take all order lines more recent than that, sum their quantities by item, and display the top 50 by total quantity.

Here is some SQL code for this:

SELECT i_id, 

       i_title, 

       a_fname, 

       a_lname 

FROM   item, 

       author, 

       order_line 

WHERE  ol_o_id > (SELECT Min(o_id) 

                  FROM   (SELECT o_id 

                          FROM   orders 

                          ORDER  BY o_date DESC 

                          LIMIT  3333) s) 

       AND i_id = ol_i_id 

       AND i_a_id = a_id 

       AND i_subject = 'HOME' 

GROUP  BY i_id, 

          i_title, 

          a_fname, 

          a_lname 

ORDER  BY Sum(ol_qty) DESC 

LIMIT  50;

I'm having trouble in expressing the nested sub-query:

SELECT MIN(o_id) FROM (SELECT o_id FROM orders ORDER BY o_date DESC LIMIT 3333) AS s;

Searching in previous mails in this list, I found out that MonetDB does not support ORDER BY or LIMIT in subqueries.

Is there any workaround ?

Cheers!

Dimitris

Read the manual: man monetdb.  It will tell you about the
nthreads=number command.
