How to fetch values at regular hours?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all!

I am logging my electricity meeter every five minute!

But the problem is that I would like to get values *just before* every hour - like

select * from counter_log_view where name='CNT-3' and timestamp < '2010-05-23 22:00:00' order by timestamp desc limit 1;
 name  |         timestamp          | count
-------+----------------------------+-------
 CNT-3 | 2010-05-23 21:53:20.844422 |    69
(1 rad)

But I don't want to do a lot of selections and gather all the data in a file.
Is there any better way to create the query so that I get the values just before
every hour?

I would like to do;

freescada=> select * from counter_log_view where name='CNT-3' and timestamp < '2010-05-23 18:00:00' order by timestamp desc limit 1;
 name  |         timestamp         | count
-------+---------------------------+-------
 CNT-3 | 2010-05-23 17:53:18.58674 |    43
(1 rad)

freescada=> select * from counter_log_view where name='CNT-3' and timestamp < '2010-05-23 19:00:00' order by timestamp desc limit 1;
 name  |         timestamp          | count
-------+----------------------------+-------
 CNT-3 | 2010-05-23 18:53:19.151988 |    50
(1 rad)

freescada=> select * from counter_log_view where name='CNT-3' and timestamp < '2010-05-23 20:00:00' order by timestamp desc limit 1;
 name  |         timestamp          | count
-------+----------------------------+-------
 CNT-3 | 2010-05-23 19:53:19.683514 |    51
(1 rad)

In one query. Is this possible in *any* way?
