A bit shorter and faster and you get the number of days instead of an interval
:
SELECT EXTRACT(day FROM date_trunc('month', now()) + interval '1 month'
- interval '1 day')
It's possible to combine multiple units in a single interval
value . So we can use '1 mon - 1 day'
:
SELECT EXTRACT(day FROM date_trunc('month', now()) + interval '1 mon - 1 day')
(mon
, month
or months
work all the same for month units.)
To divide the daily sum by the number of days in the current month (orig. question):
SELECT t::date AS the_date
, SUM(c) AS c
, SUM(c) / EXTRACT(day FROM date_trunc('month', t::date)
+ interval '1 mon - 1 day') AS a
FROM dycounts
GROUP BY 1;
To divide monthly sum by the number of days in the current month (updated question):
SELECT DATE_TRUNC('month', t)::date AS t
,SUM(c) AS c
,SUM(c) / EXTRACT(day FROM date_trunc('month', t)::date
+ interval '1 mon - 1 day') AS a
FROM dycounts
GROUP BY 1;
You have to repeat the GROUP BY
expression if you want to use a single query level.
Or use a subquery:
SELECT *, c / EXTRACT(day FROM t + interval '1 mon - 1 day') AS a
FROM (
SELECT date_trunc('month', t)::date AS t, SUM(c) AS c
FROM dycounts
GROUP BY 1
) sub;
