I've got a working query:

stage=# SELECT date_trunc('day',endtime),count(*)
FROM eg_event where endtime >= '2006-02-01' and endtime < '2006-03-01'
GROUP BY  date_trunc('day',endtime)
ORDER BY date_trunc('day',endtime);

     date_trunc      | count
---------------------+-------
 2006-02-01 00:00:00 |   253
 2006-02-02 00:00:00 |   245

 2006-02-09 00:00:00 |   250
 2006-02-10 00:00:00 |   245
 2006-02-11 00:00:00 |   275

Is there a way to eliminate the ugly repeated use of
date_trunc('day',endtime)?
