I have this table
content (id int8,owner int8,position int8,timestamp int8,description text,batch int8)
Table is inserted/deleted frequently, 'id' is almoust random.
I insert to the table following set of rows :
12345, 1000,1,timestamp,blabla,0
12349, 1000,2,timestamp,blabla,0
12355, 1001,1,timestamp,blabla,0
12389, 1000,3,timestamp,blabla,0
etc.. There is a many of these records.
Now I need to od some select like this
select * from content where owner='1000' order by timestamp with some limits, offsets etc. It is OK, no problem.
Other select, like to need select a record of user 1000 WHERE position >5 AND position <150 is OK,
But now, some records are inserted, some deleted, some have the timestamp column updated, so column 'position' is not
sequentialanymore. I need to create some UPDATE ..... where owner='id of the owner' ORDER by timestamp, that will
recalculate column 'position' to contain actual position inside a timestamp ordered table ? (ie. colum position
containan actual order of records that is owned by 'owner' ordered by timestamp ).Please note that usage of plain
LIMIT/OFFSETis not what I need.
in close relation to this, I have another problem. I NEED to assign bath number to records from this example. ie in
thetable content, where owner='id of the owner' ordered by timestamp, set of first 500 record should have the same
'bath'number '1', set of 2nd 500 records should have its batch number '2' etc...
Is it possible and how it can be done ?
PS: Execuse my bad english.
