I am using this query:
SELECT * from likes GROUP BY url ORDER BY count(*) DESC LIMIT 6
to fetch most liked record from my table 'likes'. It is working perfect for fetching most liked content of all time.
But now to I want to select the 6 most liked record from the last 100 records.
What will be the query for it ?
SELECT * FROM (select * from likes order by date desc limit 100) xx
Group by URL order by count(*) limit 6
Obtain the primary keys of the last 100 entries and narrow your query to it. Probably extremely easy if you have auto-increment keys.
SELECT * from likes
GROUP BY url
ORDER BY count(*) DESC
WHERE ID > MAX(ID)-100
LIMIT 6
