Re: efficient data reduction (and deduping)

Interesting solution. If I'm not mistaken, this does solve the problem of
having two entries for the same user at the exact same time (which violates
my pk constraint) but it does so by leaving both of them out (since there
is no au1.hr_timestamp > au2.hr_timestamp in that case). Is that right?
