Getting current and average on a single row

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

 



What is best practice when extracting both current and average from a table? Demonstration table here contains data from a cheap weather station.

I can obviously get the current reading like this:

select temp_out, dewpoint
from weather
where datetime between (now() - '10 minutes'::interval) and now()
order by datetime desc
limit 1;

and I can get averages like this:

select avg(temp_out) as avg_temp_out, avg(dewpoint) as avg_dewpoint
from weather
where datetime between (now() - '45 minutes'::interval) and now();

In both cases there are a dozen or so columns in total. How are these best merged to yield a single row? Some form of join, or window functions?
