Re: Moving avg using SQL

In response to ????????? :
> How can I do a moving avg by only using SQL?

Which version do you have? Since 8.4 we have CTE aka windowing
functions, a simple axample:

test=*#  select n, last_value(n) over mywin , avg(n) over mywin
 from generate_series(1,20) n
 window mywin as (partition by (n-1)/4 rows between unbounded preceding
and unbounded following);

 n  | last_value |         avg
