Number of records created per day












8















In my PostgreSQL database I have the following schema:



CREATE TABLE programs (
id integer,
description text
);

CREATE TABLE public.messages (
id integer,
program_id integer,
text text,
message_template_id integer
);

CREATE TABLE public.message_templates (
id integer,
deliver_day integer
);

INSERT INTO programs VALUES(1, 'Test program');

INSERT INTO messages VALUES(1,1, 'Test message 1', 1);
INSERT INTO message_templates VALUES(1, 1);

INSERT INTO messages VALUES(2,1, 'Test message 2', 2);
INSERT INTO message_templates VALUES(2, 3);

INSERT INTO messages VALUES(3,1, 'Test message 3', 3);
INSERT INTO message_templates VALUES(3, 5);


Now I want to get number of message sent per day throughout the life of the program, query result should look like this:



  day      count
--------|----------
1 1
2 0
3 1
4 0
5 1


Is there any way of doing that in PostgreSQL?

    Did you miss a day column in the messages table? How do we know what message was sent on which day? Or is your intention to use some metadata from somewhere to combine with records in messages tables?

  • Information about on which day message was sent is in message_templates delivery_day column.

    So you want to count the number of message group by day...

I decided to use generate_series:



SELECT d AS "Day", count(mt.id)  FROM generate_series(
(SELECT min(delivery_day) from message_templates),
(SELECT max(delivery_day) from message_templates)
) d
left join message_templates mt on mt.delivery_day = d
group by d.d


Query is working fine. Maybe there is better way of doing this?

You could use this:



WITH tmp AS 
(
SELECT m.program_id, a.n AS d
FROM generate_series(1,
(SELECT MAX(deliver_day) FROM message_templates)
) AS a(n)
CROSS JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT program_id
FROM messages
) m
)
SELECT t.program_id,
t.d AS "day",
COUNT(m.program_id) AS "count" -- COUNT(m.id)
FROM tmp t
LEFT JOIN message_templates mt
ON t.d = mt.deliver_day
LEFT JOIN messages m
ON m.message_template_id = mt.id AND t.program_id = m.program_id
GROUP BY t.program_id, t.d
ORDER BY t.program_id, t.d;
