Introduction to Date and Time Data in PostgreSQL

It’s time to get granular. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to set the granularity of your time series reports. You’ll then get to grips with adding, subtracting, and aggregating as you discover how to analyze time series data.

Manipulating the granularity of time series data

Temperatures by century

Busiest hour of day

Adding and subtracting date and time data

Calculate the age

Calculate arrival time in minutes

Calculating intervals

Aggregating time series data

Count the number of data per time series

Aggregating temperature data

Calculate yearly average temperature

Applying statistical aggregates to time series data

Calculating monthly temperature swings

Analyze data distribution

Sensor data analysis

Working with Time Series

In this chapter, you’ll work with window functions. You'll begin learning about partitions and partitioning and how they work with window functions. You'll be able to find the top items when ranking your data.

Partitioning and window functions

Top items with window functions

Find the three highest values per partition

Most active hours of day per news article

Ranking functions

Ranking cold weather

Ranking hot weather

Temperature percentile

Using Window Functions to Analyze Time Series Data

In the final chapter, you’ll level up your skills by calculating the running total, running average, and even moving average to enhance your time series analysis.

Calculating Running Totals and Moving Averages

This course teaches you how to leverage PostgreSQL to handle date and time data. You'll learn about functions and calls to help you parse through and manipulate this data, make calculations, and use window functions. You'll apply these techniques to real-world data to analyze temperatures, look at train schedules, and review how the popularity of news articles can change over time.
