Get mySQL rows in minute-by-minute time range over multiple hours
MySQL minute function is literally taking the minute number and grouping by that. Try grouping by hour then minute:
GROUP BY HOUR(date), MINUTE(date)
New answer for old question!
To group by minute, you can simply:
SELECT (unix_timestamp(`date`) - unix_timestamp(`date`)%60) groupTime, count(*)
FROM yourTable
# WHERE clause
GROUP BY groupTime
With this solution, you will never mixed datetimes of a minute with datetimes of the same minute of another hour, day, ...
Plus, It's an evolutive solution because, by changing "60" to another number, you can group by a couple of minutes (120), by a day (86400), ...
Just use DATE_FORMAT
:
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%H:%i')
