Hi,

I have a table like this:

test=# select * from status_log ;
 id | status |        t_start         |         t_end
----+--------+------------------------+------------------------
  1 |      1 | 2006-01-20 23:00:00+01 | 2006-01-21 06:00:00+01
  1 |      1 | 2006-01-21 06:00:00+01 | 2006-01-21 22:00:00+01
  1 |      2 | 2006-01-21 22:00:00+01 | 2006-01-22 05:00:00+01
  1 |      1 | 2006-01-22 05:00:00+01 | 2006-01-22 15:00:00+01
  1 |      2 | 2006-01-22 15:00:00+01 | 2006-01-23 02:00:00+01
(5 rows)

Now i need for a particular intervall (one day or two days, entires
days) the accumulated time for id=X and status=Y.
Exampel:

id=1, status=1, date=2006-01-21:

from 00:00:00 - 06:00:00 and
     06:00:00 - 22:00:00

===> 6 hours + 16 hours = 22 hours

OK - all untested...

First step - don't ask for a date, ask between two timestamptz's (which I'll call t1, t2)

Then, define two functions: earlier(timestamptz, timesatmptz) and later(...) as SQL functions using SELECT ... CASE

SELECT
  later(T1, t_start) AS lower_time
  earlier(T2, t_end) AS upper_time
FROM
  status_log
WHERE
  id = X
  AND status = Y
  AND ts_end >= T1
  AND ts_start <= T2
;

Now (upper_time - lower_time) is the interval you want and summing them will give you your answer.

Any help?
