For a first step, I'd build a view of

create view cdr_by_hour_view as
select date_trunc('hour,calldate) as callhour, duration
from cdr;

Then I'd select from this view using aggregates:

select callhour, avg(duration) as avg_duration
from cdr
where src = 601
group by callhour;

You could write it

This should help you with the simple case of just hourly averages.
For averages on any given interval I think it's a bit more involved
(as general cases generally are).

Hope this helps!
