hi Stefan, i just made up those column names as a simple fake example. i'm
not sure why schema would help here? it's mostly just a re-statement of
the original question i linked to in my post..? i guess i could make you
some fake data to play with, but i'm confused why this query requires table
structure? sorry if i'm overlooking something silly

Anthony,
could you possibly share the full schemas of your "event_table" and "person_table", including primary keys and foreign keys?
Thanks!
Stefan

hi, sorry, partition by event somehow? i'm not seeing it :/

Opes, I see. I’m sorry. Then LIMIT 1 is not what you need. MonetDB doesn’t have anything directly assemble TOP 1.
Your use case sounds a bit similar to another use case on the mailing list, about computing the OHLC chart. It’s a bit too late to think of the exact query, but how about using PARTION BY, then ROWNUMBER, en select the row with number 0 (or is 1 the starting value?)?

hi Jennie, thanks for spending time on this! won't LIMIT only give one record? i need one record per event.. so i think the "insert into" command would need to be repeatedly called until every single event got stored (which would take forever)? sorry if i'm missing something

CREATE TABLE t1 (svcmon int); -- assume svcmon is an INT insert into t1 SELECT svcmon FROM person_table AS z WHERE a.yr = z.yr AND a.person_id = z.person_id ORDER BY abs( z.svcmon - a.svcmon ) LIMIT 1;
Using TEMP TABLE might give you a bit speed up, but then you need to put them in one transaction.

i'm thinking i can do this with some costly self-join, but i'd
appreciate any
