Hello, I am new to the list, my apology if this question is beyond the
scope or charter of this list.

My questions is:
What is the best method to perform an aggregate query to calculate
sum() values for each distinct wid as in the example below, but except
for all wid's (not just WHERE wid='01/1-6-1-30w1/0').

Also, performance wise, would it be better to build a function for this
query. The table has 9 million records and these aggregate queries
take hours.

SELECT
SUM(oil) as sumoil, SUM(hours) as sumhours,
FROM
(SELECT oil, hours prd_data WHERE wid='01/1-6-1-30w1/0'
ORDER BY date LIMIT 6) subtable
;

Table description:
Table "prd_data"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+-----------------------+-----------
date | integer |
hours | real |
oil | real |
gas | real |
water | real |
pwid | integer |
wid | character varying(20) |
year | smallint |
Indexes: wid_index6

Actual table (prd_data), 9 million records:

date | hours | oil | gas | water | pwid | wid | year
