Hello.
I would like to select only changes in value:
time (datetime)
bits (integer)
in command:
select time,(bits>>8)&1 as P from VV order by time
I view this result:
time P
12:23:11 0
12:23:16 0
12:24:01 0
12:24:10 1
12:24:23 1
12:24:45 0
12:25:01 0
12:25:34 1
12:25:59 1

And how to obtain this result:
12:23:11 0
12:24:10 1
12:24:45 0
12:25:34 1

The group clause selects only two rows:
12:23:11 0 the first "0" value
12:24:10 1 the first "1" value

Can you me?

I don't know how you could do this automatically with sql, but you could
foreach your way through the set, remembering the last P value and, if it
changes, then ooutput that row and reset the the remembered P value. Here
is some pseudocode.

P0 = 2;
foreach loop {
read next row from returned mysql query resource
get P and time from this row
if (P != P0) {
P0 = P;
output time and P
}
}

I'm using this solution, but on the client side.
If the connection is over the internet, this is
a very long way to get results.

This is not a MySQL group. This is a PHP group. Notice the name?

If you're asking MySQL questions, you need to be in a MySQL group. If
you're asking for a PHP solution, just what are you asking for?
