Question

I need to write a SQL-Server query but I don’t know how to solve. I have a table RealtimeData with data:

 Time                   |    Value
4/29/2009 12:00:00 AM   |   3672.0000
4/29/2009 12:01:00 AM   |   3645.0000
4/29/2009 12:02:00 AM   |   3677.0000
4/29/2009 12:03:00 AM   |   3634.0000
4/29/2009 12:04:00 AM   |   3676.0000      // is EOD of day "4/29/2009"
4/30/2009 12:00:00 AM   |   3671.0000
4/30/2009 12:01:00 AM   |   3643.0000
4/30/2009 12:02:00 AM   |   3672.0000
4/30/2009 12:03:00 AM   |   3634.0000
4/30/2009 12:04:00 AM   |   3632.0000
4/30/2009 12:05:00 AM   |   3672.0000      // is EOD of day "4/30/2009"
5/1/2009 12:00:00 AM    |   3673.0000
5/1/2009 12:01:00 AM    |   3642.0000
5/1/2009 12:02:00 AM    |   3672.0000
5/1/2009 12:03:00 AM    |   3634.0000
5/1/2009 12:04:00 AM    |   3635.0000      // is EOD of day "5/1/2009"

I want to get the EOD’s data of days which exist in table. (EOD = end of day). With the my sample’s data, I will need to reture a table like following:

   Time      |    Value
4/29/2009    |  3676.0000
4/30/2009    |  3672.0000
5/1/2009     |  3635.0000

Note: I write the comment so that you can know where is EOD. And SQL Server is version 2005.

Note: the data in RealtimeData table is very large with more than 400.000 rows. Please help me to write in optimization.

Please help me to solve my problem. Thanks.

WITH RankedRealTimeData AS (
  SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
      PARTITION BY CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [TIME], 121) 
      ORDER BY Time DESC) AS RN
  FROM RealTimeData
)
SELECT * FROM RankedRealTimeData WHERE RN=1;
