Hi
 
Thanks a lot for your help. The query does work, but now I have a problem. The query goes like this:
 
select tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time, count(tk.*), avg(tk.price), sum(tk.price*tk.volume)/sum(tk.volume), sum(tk.volume)
from ticks tk, timeseries tm where tk.tick_time >= tm.timeseries_time and
tk.tick_time < (tm.timeseries_time + '1 minute' :: interval)::time group by tm.timeseries_time, tk.ric order by tk.ric, tm.timeseries_time
 
The problem is, if there is no row for certain minute, then I want the count to be displayed as zero and other coulmns like avg to be null. In this query, it just omits those minutes which doesnt have any row for a particular minute.
 
Thanks a lot in advance

Here is my guess how it can be done:

insert into Timeseries ( tiker, time, avg_price, avg_volume ) select ...

where select .... would be

select tick,
date_trunc('minute', time) as minute,
avg(price) as avg_price,
avg(volume) as avg_volume
from ticker
where time between 'yourstartdate' and 'yourenddate'
group by tick, minute;
