Hi all,
I have three questions about 1 table
CREATE TABLE public.logs
(
rule_name varchar(32) NOT NULL,
bytes int8 NOT NULL,
pkts int8 NOT NULL,
hostname varchar(100),
that_time int4 NOT NULL
) WITH OIDS;
Question 1.
If I run the following query:
select cast(min(that_time) as abstime), cast(max(that_time) as abstime), (sum(bytes)/(1024*1024)) as "Totaal in
Megabytes"from logs
where
that_time between cast( abstime('2004-10-1 00:00') as int4) and cast( abstime('2004-11-1 00:00') as int4)
and
rule_name = 'Incoming 83 50 in' or
rule_name = 'Outgoing 83 50 out'
I expect that the outcome will be between "2004-10-1 00:00" and "2004-11-1 00:00" (the month october). However, I get
thefollowing result:
min max Totaal in Megabytes
"2004-09-01 00:00:01+02" "2004-11-23 11:50:01+01"; "82768.623353004456"
The min date is the date of the first entry ever, the max entry the last entry ever. Why is this?
Question 2.
If I refrase the above query to:
select cast(min(that_time) as abstime), cast(max(that_time) as abstime), (sum(bytes)/(1024*1024)) as "Totaal in
Megabytes"from logs
where
rule_name = 'Incoming 83 50 in' or
rule_name = 'Outgoing 83 50 out'
and
that_time between cast( abstime('2004-10-1 00:00') as int4) and cast( abstime('2004-11-1 00:00') as int4)
I get a diffent answer (see the Totaal in Megabytes):
min max Totaal in Megabytes
"2004-09-01 00:00:01+02" "2004-11-23 12:00:01+01" "92406.078444480896"
My question why is this?
Question 3.
Querying for just "rule_name = 'Incoming 83 50 in'" gives 34990 Megabytes, just querying for "rule_name = 'Outgoing 83
50out'" gives 5524 Megabytes. How does that compare to the queries above?
