We have a lab instrument recording information every 2 seconds into a table.
The scientists pull that data into excel for analysis (I hope to look at this
excel spreadsheet in the very near future now that I've read chapter 9 of Pro
Oracle SQL).
They are requesting a view that picks out every 15th row of data going back 30
days.
Can anyone think of a more efficient way to do it than this:
SELECT x.col,
x.t_stamp
FROM ( SELECT col,
t_stamp
rownum rn
FROM t
WHERE t_stamp >= TRUNC( SYSDATE - 30 )) x
WHERE MOD( x.rn, 15 ) = 0;
It feels like there should be a better way to do it.
