I came into this thread late, so I don't know what you schema looks like.
I have a table that has a timestamp with time zone field and other data. I
can write a query that give me a count per day
SELECT count(*) AS count, date_trunc( 'day', hour) AS day FROM
hist_callhealth GROUP BY day;
This will give me a count per day, to get the top X
SELECT count, day FROM (SELECT count(*) AS count, date_trunc( 'day', hour)
AS day FROM hist_callhealth GROUP BY day) AS foo ORDER BY count desc limit
X;
Hope this helps,
Woody

_FOR_ _EACH_ _DAY_.
Your query returns the values only for one day...
