PostgreSQL DATE_BIN() Function Explained

In PostgreSQL, the DATE_BIN() function enables us to “bin” a timestamp into a given interval aligned with a specific origin. In other words, we can use this function to map (or force) a timestamp to the nearest specified interval.

This can be handy when we want to truncate a timestamp to a given interval, for example a 10 minute interval. We can specify the interval (e.g. 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc), and we can specify the starting point for the interval. Therefore, we can have the interval starting at any odd time we want (it doesn’t need to start on the hour or anything like that).
