Thread: Can I simplify this somehow?

Can I simplify this somehow?

From
Larry Rosenman
Date:
I tried(!) to write this as a with (CTE), but failed.

Can one of the CTE experts (or better SQL writer) help me here?

-- generate a table of timestamps to match against
select
generate_series(date_trunc('day',now()-'45 days'::interval),now()+'1
hour'::inte
rval,'1 hour')
    AS thetime  into temp table timestamps;

-- get a count of logged in users for a particular time
SELECT thetime,case extract(dow  from thetime)
                when 0 then 'Sunday'
                when 1 then 'Monday'
                when 2 then 'Tuesday'
                when 3 then 'Wednesday'
                when 4 then 'Thursday'
                when 5 then 'Friday'
                when 6 then 'Saturday' end AS "Day", count(*) AS
"#LoggedIn"
FROM  timestamps,user_session
WHERE thetime BETWEEN login_time AND COALESCE(logout_time, now())
GROUP BY thetime
ORDER BY thetime;

Thanks for any help at all.

Are you looking for something like this for the result for the last 45 days or something else?

TIME  MON   TUE  WED ...
09:00     1        3       4
10:00     5        0       8

You need to take a look at this module:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/tablefunc.html

Particularly look at the crostab(text, text) function.
