I would write a Set-returning function. First, select distinct all
dates, and interate over this to select the names and number of votes
for this date, ordered by the votes descending and limit this to 3 oder
10 or whatever.
simplified:
create function .... (IN c int, OUT d date, OUT n text, OUT x int) returns setof record ...
declare
temp_date date;
rec record;
begin
for select into temp_date distinct date from table loop
for select into rec name, votes from table where datum=temp_date
order by 2 limit by $1 loop
n := rec.name;
...
return next
...
HTH, Andreas
