List pgsql-sql
Does this help
Here is my test table data.
ID;DATE;VALUE
1;"2009-03-13";5
2;"2009-03-13";2
3;"2009-03-11";1
4;"2009-03-11";2
5;"2009-03-11";3

SELECT mydate AS day,      SUM(CASE WHEN id % 2 = 1 THEN value END) AS sum_odd,      SUM(CASE WHEN id % 2 = 0 THEN
valueEND) AS sum_even 
FROM xyz
GROUP BY mydate;
DATE;SUM_ODD;SUM_EVEN
"2009-03-11";4;2
"2009-03-13";5;2

Check the plans generated to see if one query actually appears better
than another.
