You confirm my modus operandi. I tried the following which seems to give
me optimal price distribution:
select w.week,count( p.id_price) from
(select generate_series(min(p.created_on),max(p.modified_on),'1
week') as week from price p) as w join price p on (p.created_on <
w.week + '7 days' and p.modified_on > w.week + '7 days') group by
w.week order by w.week
week | count
