Is this the best way of getting a table of hourly dates?
-- How to generate a table of dates at hourly intervals between two dates.
-- select timestamp 'epoch' + generate_series * interval '1 second' as
dates from generate_series(extract(epoch from date_trunc('hour',
timestamp '2001-02-16 20:38:40'))::bigint,extract(epoch from
date_trunc('hour', timestamp '2001-02-17 20:38:40'))::bigint, 3600)
select generate_series * interval '1 second' + date_trunc('hour',
timestamp '2001-02-16 20:38:40') as dates
from generate_series(0,extract(epoch from(date_trunc('hour',
timestamp '2001-02-17 20:38:40') - date_trunc('hour', timestamp
'2001-02-16 20:38:40')))::bigint, 3600)
The commented out query seems to take into account the timezone which
is not what I want.
