nx,
nx1

Subject: [GENERAL] Merging timeseries in postgres
Hi,
I've got a bit of query-writers block ! I've tried various join styles
but can't get it to do what I want to achieve.
Assume I have a bunch of time-series tables :
create table test(dx date,n numeric);
create table test1(dx1 date,nx1 numeric);
insert into test values('2000-01-01','0.001');
insert into test1 values('2002-01-02','0.002');
insert into test1 values('2003-01-03','0.002');
What I want to do is create a view that merges these together with
time as the index, i.e the output would look like :
2000-01-01 0.001 (null)
2002-01-02 (null) 0.002
2003-01-03 (null) 0.003
I can't quite figure out how to keep the index independent and make a
clean join, typical outer join constructs end up with results like :
dx | nx | dx1 | nx1
----+----+------------+-------
| | 2002-01-02 | 0.001
| | 2003-01-02 | 0.002
(2 rows)
dx | nx | dx1 | nx1
------------+-------+------------+-------
2000-01-02 | 0.005 | |
| | 2002-01-02 | 0.001
| | 2003-01-02 | 0.002
Which isn't very pretty and doesn't really achieve what I want.
As I said "sql-writers block !" ;-(
