I am looking for suggestions on aggregation techniques using a timestamp 
column. In my case I have tried:

date_trunc('hour', derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.time2),

but date_truck only seems to aggregate the timestamp. I thought I could use 

AVG(derived_tsoil_fifteen_min_stacked.value)

in combination with date_trunk, but I still get 15 minute values, not the 
hourly average from the four 15 minute records.

rowid                                                   date_truck

I was tying to get two records out of this set, with the 'avg" column 
representing the mean of the first and last four of each 15 minute records. 

Suggestions?
