Still can't make heads or tails of the needs yet. But running the snippet above may give some more ideas.
Looking at id 1 tuples: 20:03 is in because it has a record >= X away. But so does 20:04. 20:04 is out because it has a record that is < X away. But so does 20:03, which is in. Etc.

Subject: [SQL] selecting records X minutes apart
To: <pgsql-sql@postgresql.org>
I have a table that, at a minimum, has ID and timestamp columns. Records
are inserted into with random IDs and timestamps. Duplicate IDs are allowed.
I want to select records grouped by ID, ordered by timestamp that are X minutes
apart. In this case X is 5.
Note, the intervals are not X minute wall clock intervals, they are X minute
intervals from the last accepted record, per-id.
For instance here is some sample input data:
ID TS (HH:MM)
-------------------
0 20:00
1 20:03
1 20:04
0 20:05
1 20:05
0 20:08
1 20:09
0 20:10
I'd want the select to return:
ID TS (HH:MM)
-------------------
0 20:00
0 20:05
0 20:10
1 20:03
1 20:09
Does my question make sense?
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
