I'm sure, there are any ways to do this. For instance this one:
First, my table:
test=*# select * from status ;
t | status
---------------------+--------
2008-05-01 10:00:00 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:01 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:02 | DOWN
2008-05-01 10:00:03 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:04 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:05 | DOWN
2008-05-01 10:00:06 | DOWN

Now i'm writing a plpgsql-function:
create or replace function get_status(
OUT t_from timestamp,
OUT t_to timestamp,
OUT out_status text) returns setof record as $$
declare
OLD_STATUS text;
OLD_start timestamp;
OLD_stop timestamp;
REC record;
begin
OLD_STATUS := NULL;
OLD_start := NULL;
OLD_stop := NULL;
FOR REC in SELECT t, status FROM status ORDER BY t ASC LOOP
IF OLD_STATUS isnull THEN OLD_STATUS := REC.status; END IF;
IF OLD_start isnull THEN OLD_start := REC.t; END IF;
IF OLD_stop isnull THEN OLD_stop := REC.t; END IF;
IF OLD_STATUS != REC.status THEN
t_from := OLD_start;
t_to := OLD_stop;
out_status := OLD_status;
OLD_STATUS:=REC.status;
OLD_start:=REC.t;
OLD_stop:=REC.t;
RETURN next;
END IF;
OLD_stop:=REC.t;
OLD_STATUS:=REC.status;
END LOOP;
t_from:=OLD_start;
t_to:=OLD_stop;
out_status:=REC.status;
RETURN next;
END;
$$ language plpgsql;
let's try:
test=*# select * from get_status();
t_from | t_to | out_status
---------------------+---------------------+------------
2008-05-01 10:00:00 | 2008-05-01 10:00:01 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:02 | 2008-05-01 10:00:02 | DOWN
2008-05-01 10:00:03 | 2008-05-01 10:00:04 | UP
2008-05-01 10:00:05 | 2008-05-01 10:00:06 | DOWN
