Will this help:
select
ticker,
date_trunc('minute', time),
ave(price),
ave(volume)
from tick
group by
ticker,
date_trunc('minute', time)
You say you want to "add" these values to the Timeseries table? You mean
insert them? If so do this:
insert into timeseries (
ticker, time, avg_price, avg_volume
)
select
ticker,
date_trunc('minute', time),
ave(price),
ave(volume)
from tick
group by
ticker,
date_trunc('minute', time)
Of course if you do this repeatedly, you will start gathering duplicates in
the timeseries so you may want to do one insert and one update:
insert into timeseries (
ticker, time, avg_price, avg_volume
)
select
tick.ticker,
date_trunc('minute', tick.time),
ave(tick.price),
ave(tick.volume)
from tick
left outer join timeseries on (
-- Not sure your join since you said time is not the same between ticke
and timeseries
date_trunc('minute', tick.time) = timeseries.tick
and tick.ticker = timeseries.ticker
)
group by
ticker,
date_trunc('minute', time)
having timeseries.ticker is null
... I will leave the update as an exercise ;)
