MySQL: Records inserted by hour, for the last 24 hours
- by Andrew M
I'm trying to list the number of records per hour inserted into a database for the last 24 hours. Each row displays the records inserted that hour, as well as how many hours ago it was.
Here's my query now:
SELECT COUNT(*), FLOOR( TIME_TO_SEC( TIMEDIFF( NOW(), time)) / 3600 )
FROM `records`
WHERE time > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)
GROUP BY HOUR(time)
ORDER BY time ASC
right now it returns:
28 23
62 23
14 20
1 4
28 3
19 1
That shows two rows from 23 hours ago, when it should only show one per hour.
I think it has something to do with using NOW() instead of getting the time at the start of the hour, which I'm unsure on how to get.
There must be a simpler way of doing this.
