Is this the best way of getting a table of hourly dates?

The commented out query seems to take into account the timezone which
is not what I want.

Depends on what you have available as input. If you know the starting
time and number of records it's pretty easy:
Without time-zone:
select '2009-03-05 0100'::timestamp + generate_series(0,100) * '1
hour'::interval;
...
2009-03-07 23:00:00
2009-03-08 00:00:00
2009-03-08 01:00:00
2009-03-08 02:00:00
2009-03-08 03:00:00
2009-03-08 04:00:00
...
With time-zone info:
select '2009-03-05 0100'::timestamptz + generate_series(0,100) * '1
hour'::interval;
...
2009-03-07 23:00:00-08
2009-03-08 00:00:00-08
2009-03-08 01:00:00-08
2009-03-08 03:00:00-07
2009-03-08 04:00:00-07
2009-03-08 05:00:00-07
2009-03-08 06:00:00-07
...
Cheers,
Steve
