###Raster of 10-minute intervals I suggest to group by a combination of "hour" and 10-minute interval: SELECT hero , min(timestamp) AS start_time , CASE WHEN count(*) > 1 THEN max(timestamp) END AS end_time FROM tbl GROUP BY hero , date_trunc('hour', timestamp) , EXTRACT(MINUTE FROM timestamp)::int / 10 ORDER BY 1, 2; -- optional [Working with date / time functions.][1] `EXTRACT(minute FROM timestamp)` extracts the minute part of the time The expression. After the cast to integer (`::int`), integer division (`/ 10`) effectively rounds to 10-minute intervals (`0` - `5`). The `CASE` expression only adds an `end_time` if more than one rows fall in the same 10-minute interval. I advise not to use the "timestamp" as identifier. It's a reserved word in standard SQL and base data type in Postgres. ###Groups defined by gaps of 10 or more minutes If "groups" are defined by gaps of 10 minutes or more between rows of the same hero: SELECT hero , count(*) AS ct -- optional , min(timestamp) AS start_time , CASE WHEN count(*) > 1 THEN max(timestamp) END AS end_time FROM ( SELECT hero, timestamp, count(step OR NULL) OVER (ORDER BY hero, timestamp) AS grp FROM ( SELECT * , lag(timestamp) OVER (PARTITION BY hero ORDER BY timestamp) < timestamp - interval '10 min' AS step FROM tbl ) sub1 ) sub2 GROUP BY hero, grp; Detailed explanation: - http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/35380/select-longest-continuous-sequence/35389#35389 [**SQL Fiddle**][2] for both.
