Look how I did:

SELECT date_trunc('month', production.production_date)::date
AS production_period
, product.id_production_area
, sum(production_hours) as total_production_hours
FROM production
JOIN product USING (id_product)
WHERE lost_hours = 'S'
AND date_trunc('month', production.production_date)::date BETWEEN
date_trunc('month', CAST('2007-06-18' AS date) - (EXTRACT(MONTH
FROM CAST('2007-06-18' AS date))-1) * interval '1 month')::date
AND date_trunc('month', CAST('2007-06-18' AS date))::date
GROUP BY production_period, id_production_area

UNION

SELECT date_trunc('year', production.production_date)::date
AS production_period
, product.id_production_area
, sum(production_hours)/12 as total_production_hours
FROM production
JOIN product USING (id_product)
WHERE lost_hours = 'S'
AND date_trunc('year', production.production_date)::date BETWEEN
date_trunc('year', CAST('2007-06-18' AS date) - 3 * interval '1
year')::date
AND date_trunc('year', CAST('2007-06-18' AS date) - 1 * interval
'1 year')::date
GROUP BY production_period, id_production_area
ORDER BY production_period DESC

I changed the "?" for values to test.
Look, I did a UNION, exist other way to do it better?

Thanks
