Jeg er lidt forvirret, fordi din logik ser ud til at bringe den tidligste besked ikke den seneste.
Selvom distinct on
er ret kraftfuld, jeg er ikke sikker på, om du nemt kan få det, du ønsker. Min tilbøjelighed er at skifte til at bruge vinduesfunktioner:
SELECT m.*
FROM (SELECT m.*,
(CASE WHEN sender_id < recipient_id
THEN (sender_id, recipient_id)
ELSE (recipient_id, sender_id)
END) AS pair,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY (CASE WHEN sender_id < recipient_id
THEN (sender_id, recipient_id)
ELSE (recipient_id, sender_id)
END)
ORDER BY created_at, unread_count DESC
) as seqnum,
SUM(CASE WHEN m.opened = false THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) OVER
(PARTITION BY (CASE WHEN sender_id < recipient_id
THEN (sender_id, recipient_id)
ELSE (recipient_id, sender_id)
END)
) as NumUnopened
FROM "messages" m
WHERE ((recipient_id = 6 and recipient_delete = false) or
(sender_id = 6 and sender_delete = false))
) t
WHERE seqnum = 1;
