Calculating 20-Second Intervals in PostgreSQL: Fixed and Dynamic Approaches and Best Practices
This is a PostgreSQL query that calculates 20-second intervals (starting from a specified minute) and assigns them to groups. Here’s a breakdown of the query: Grouping The query uses a few different ways to group rows into intervals: Fixed intervals: The original query uses DENSE_RANK() or ROUND() with calculations based on the row’s timestamp, which creates fixed 20-second intervals starting from a specified minute. Dynamic intervals: The second query uses a calculation based on the minimum and maximum timestamps in the table to create dynamic 20-second intervals starting from the first value.
