Oops. I've just discovered that letter.
Adrian, your answer is not fully correct, because
'2016-01-01T00:00:00Z' is *NOT* the same as '2016-01-01 00:00:00-08'!
Unfortunately, "to_timestamp" always returns timestamptz in a
time-zone offset from current "TIME ZONE" setting:
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Europe/London';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamptz, to_timestamp(ts,
'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSZ') FROM
(VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | to_timestamp
------------------------+------------------------
2016-01-01 00:00:00+00 | 2016-01-01 00:00:00+00
(1 row)
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Pacific/Honolulu';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamptz, to_timestamp(ts,
'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSZ') FROM
(VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | to_timestamp
------------------------+------------------------
2015-12-31 14:00:00-10 | 2016-01-01 00:00:00-10
(1 row)
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamptz, to_timestamp(ts,
'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSZ') FROM
(VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | to_timestamp
------------------------+------------------------
2016-01-01 11:00:00+11 | 2016-01-01 00:00:00+11
(1 row)
... and it can't get time zone from an input string:
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamptz, to_timestamp(ts,
'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSOF') FROM
(VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ERROR: "TZ"/"tz"/"OF" format patterns are not supported in to_date
So Deven's query can be rewritten as:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION v1_nexus_vlan_count(id TEXT, start_time
TIMESTAMP, end_time TIMESTAMP)
RETURNS TEXT AS $$
SELECT jsonb_pretty(jsonb_agg(row_to_json(datapoints))) AS data_array FROM
(
SELECT
data->>'timestamp' AS collection_time,
data->'data'->'vlans'->>'available' AS available,
data->'data'->'vlans'->>'total' AS total,
data->'data'->'vlans'->>'used' AS used
FROM
gathered_data
WHERE
data->>'id'=$1 AND
$2 <= (data->>'timestamp')::timestamptz
AND (data->>'timetsamp')::timestamptz <= $3 -- "<=" or just "<"?
ORDER BY
(data->>'timestamp')::timestamptz
) AS datapoints
$$
LANGUAGE SQL;
Deven, pay attention "start_time" and "end_time" are "timestamp", not
"timestampTZ", so comparison uses "TIME ZONE" setting:
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Pacific/Honolulu';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamp, ts::timestampTZ, ts::timestamp <
ts::timestampTZ FROM (VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | ts | ?column?
---------------------+------------------------+----------
2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 2015-12-31 14:00:00-10 | f
(1 row)
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Europe/London';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamp, ts::timestampTZ, ts::timestamp <
ts::timestampTZ FROM (VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | ts | ?column?
---------------------+------------------------+----------
2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 2016-01-01 00:00:00+00 | f
(1 row)
postgres=# SET TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney';
SET
postgres=# SELECT ts::timestamp, ts::timestampTZ, ts::timestamp <
ts::timestampTZ FROM (VALUES('2016-01-01T00:00:00Z'))t(ts);
ts | ts | ?column?
---------------------+------------------------+----------
2016-01-01 00:00:00 | 2016-01-01 11:00:00+11 | t
(1 row)
If you want to compare using specific time zone, you have to convert
input values to it:
...
WHERE
data->>'id'=$1 AND
($2 AT TIME ZONE 'America/New_York') <= (data->>'timestamp')::timestamptz
AND
(data->>'timetsamp')::timestamptz <= ($3 AT TIME ZONE
'America/New_York') -- "<=" or just "<"?
ORDER BY
