PostgreSQL即将让我打小动物。我正在为MySQL做以下SQL语句,以获取唯一的城市/州/国家列表。
SELECT DISTINCT city
, state
, country
FROM events
WHERE (city > '')
AND (number_id = 123)
ORDER BY occured_at ASC
但这样做会让PostgreSQL抛出这个错误:
PGError:错误:对于SELECT DISTINCT,ORDER BY表达式必须出现在选择列表中
但是如果我将occured_at添加到SELECT中,那么它就会杀死获取唯一列表。
使用MySQL和第一次查询的结果:
BEDFORD PARK IL US
ADDISON IL US
HOUSTON TX US
如果我将occured_at添加到SELECT:
BEDFORD PARK IL US 2009-11-02 19:10:00
BEDFORD PARK IL US 2009-11-02 21:40:00
ADDISON IL US 2009-11-02 22:37:00
ADDISON IL US 2009-11-03 00:22:00
ADDISON IL US 2009-11-03 01:35:00
HOUSTON TX US 2009-11-03 01:36:00
第一组结果是我最终试图用PostgreSQL获得的结果。

那么,您希望Postgres如何确定在创建排序顺序时使用哪个occured_at值?
我不太了解Postgres的语法,但你可以试试:
SELECT DISTINCT city, state, country, MAX(occured_at)
FROM events
WHERE (city > '') AND (number_id = 123) ORDER BY MAX(occured_at) ASC
或
SELECT city, state, country, MAX(occured_at)
FROM events
WHERE (city > '') AND (number_id = 123)
GROUP BY city, state, country ORDER BY MAX(occured_at) ASC
假设您希望MOST RECENT出现时排序的结果。如果您想要第一次出现,请将MAX更改为MIN。
顺便提一下,您的标题询问GROUP BY,但您的语法指定了DISTINCT。
