I currently have the following code in Microsoft SQL Server to get users that viewed on two days in a row.
WITH uservideoviewvideo (date, user_id) AS (
SELECT DISTINCT date, user_id
FROM clickstream_videos
WHERE event_name ='video_play'
and user_id IS NOT NULL
)
SELECT currentday.date AS date,
COUNT(currentday.user_id) AS users_view_videos,
COUNT(nextday.user_id) AS users_view_next_day
FROM userviewvideo currentday
LEFT JOIN userviewvideo nextday
ON currentday.user_id = nextday.user_id AND DATEADD(DAY, 1,
currentday.date) = nextday.date
GROUP BY currentday.date
I am trying to get the DATEADD function to work in PostgreSQL but I've been unable to figure out how to get this to work. Any suggestions?
I don't think PostgreSQL really has a DATEADD function. Instead, just do:
+ INTERVAL '1 day'
SQL Server:
Add 1 day to the current date November 21, 2012
SELECT DATEADD(day, 1, GETDATE());
# 2012-11-22 17:22:01.423PostgreSQL:
Add 1 day to the current date November 21, 2012
SELECT CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL '1 day';
# 2012-11-22 17:22:01
SELECT CURRENT_DATE + 1;
# 2012-11-22 17:22:01

EDIT:
It might be useful if you're using a dynamic length of time to create a string and then cast it as an interval like:
+ (col_days || ' days')::interval
