To get the usernames by hour as you describe: SELECT h.hour, usrlog.userid (select generate_series(1,24) as hour) as h inner join usrlog on h.hour >= usrlog.loginhr and h.hour <= usrlog.logouthr order by h.hour, usrlog.userid; To get the number of users per hour : Select h.hour, count(*) asNumberOfUsers (select generate_series(1,24) as hour) h inner join usrlog on h.hour >= usrlog.loginhr and h.hour <= usrlog.logouthr group by h.hour; HTH Nicklas 2010-12-23 skrev Satish Burnwal (sburnwal) : I need a help in writing a query. I have data as follows: > >mydb=# select * from usrlog ; > logid | userid | loginhr | logouthr >-------+----------+---------+---------- > 0 | sburnwal | 0 | 1 > 1 | rickyrs | 1 | 5 > 2 | satishbn | 1 | 6 > 3 | taohujin | 2 | 4 > 4 | jospehm | 4 | 5 > > >Table captures the login and logout time (taking hour here to simplify) >of users and my aim to find the number of logged-in users (online users) >at every hr (1st hr i.e. 0-1, 2nd hrs i.e. 1-2, 3rd hr i.e. 2-3 and ... >so on).
