Easy ways to group counts of data by days, weeks, months or years.

-- Group by Day of the week
>> select count(*) bugs_count,to_char(created_on, 'DAY') as day_of_week from BUGS group by day_of_week order by bugs_count desc;
 bugs_count     | day_of_week
----------------+-----------
              8 | THURSDAY
              5 | MONDAY
              4 | WEDNESDAY
              4 | SATURDAY
              3 | FRIDAY
              2 | TUESDAY

-- Group by Day of the month
>> select count(*) as bugs_count,to_char(created_on, 'DD') as day_of_month from BUGS group by day_of_month order by bugs_count desc;
 bugs_count     | day_of_month
----------------+--------------
              5 | 16
              3 | 03
              3 | 06

-- Group by week
>> select count(*) as bugs_count,to_char(created_on, 'YYYY-WW') as year_week from BUGS group by year_week order by year_week;
 bugs_count     | year_week

-- group by month+year
>> select count(*) as bugs_count,to_char(created_on, 'YYYY-MM') as year_month from BUGS group by year_month order by year_month;
 bugs_count     | year_month
----------------+------------
