Question: I need to calculate avg of data
for every time interval between start date and end date using a
TIMESTAMP column.
I want the aggregated data for every 30 minutes. If I use a
“group by” on 30, it will group only on that same time not at the
interval level.
I want to write a SQL to “group by” for continuous timestamp
intervals. How can I “group by” like this for a timestamp?
Answer: I
would look at the numtoyminterval built-in function. For working
examples of advanced “group by”, you can download working examples
from the Laurent Schneider book code depot on
Advanced SQL Programming.
SQL expert and Rampant author, Laurent Schneider provides the
following:
I tried to provide a generic answer that will cover any kind of
interval, either in seconds or in months:
create table t as
select
systimestamp-numtodsinterval(dbms_random.value*365,'DAY') ts,
dbms_random.value
from dual connect by level<=100000;
Interval in year/month:
var intervalmonth number;
-- 3 months period
exec :intervalmonth := 3;
Code:
select
timestamp '2000-01-01
00:00:00.00' -
numtoyminterval(
trunc(
(
extract(year
from (timestamp '2000-01-01 00:00:00.00' - ts) year(4)
to month)*12+
extract(month from (timestamp
'2000-01-01 00:00:00.00' - ts) year(4)
to month)+1
)/:intervalmonth
)*:intervalmonth,
'MONTH'
)
from_ts,
timestamp '2000-01-01
00:00:00.00' -
numtoyminterval(
trunc(
(
extract(year
from (timestamp '2000-01-01 00:00:00.00' - ts) year(4) to
month)*12+
extract(month from (timestamp
'2000-01-01 00:00:00.00' - ts) year(4) to
month)+1
)/:intervalmonth-1
)*:intervalmonth,
'MONTH'
)
-
interval '0.000001' second to_ts,
avg(value),
count(*)
from t group by
timestamp '2000-01-01 00:00:00.00' -
numtoyminterval(
trunc(
