I'm not sure exactly what you want but it sounds like you just want an
output column that has the shift instead of timestamp. You can then sum
on that column. Don't know what your shifts are called, but this will
give you dog-, day- and night-shifts based on your times:
case
when extract(hour from '2011-01-12 1600'::timestamptz)< 8 then 'dog'
when extract(hour from now())< 16 then 'day'
else 'night'
end as shiftname
This can be used for grouping as well as display.
Cheers,
Steve
