Q&A for people who want to be financially literate

-- The best time to ask questions
-- Look for the minimum value on y-scale:
-- It says when the time between question and answer is minimal.
-- For example

DECLARE @Frequency int = ##Frequency:int?3##
DECLARE @MaxTimeDiff int = ##MaxTimeDiff:int?1440##

;WITH tmp AS
(
  SELECT TOP 1000 timeDiff = DATEDIFF(minute, q.CreationDate, a.CreationDate),
         Period = CASE @Frequency
           WHEN 1 THEN DATEPART("hour", q.CreationDate)
           WHEN 2 THEN DATEPART("weekday", q.CreationDate)
           WHEN 3 THEN ROUND((CAST(DATEPART("weekday", q.CreationDate) AS numeric) +
                CAST(DATEPART("hour", q.CreationDate) AS numeric) / 24), 2) END
  FROM Posts q
    LEFT OUTER JOIN Posts a ON q.AcceptedAnswerId = a.Id
  WHERE q.AcceptedAnswerId > 0
  )
  SELECT Period, AVG(timeDiff) OVER(PARTITION BY Period) --, VAR(timeDiff)
FROM tmp
-- We cut off answers that arrived more than n minutes
-- after the question to avoid outliers
WHERE timeDiff < @MaxTimeDiff
ORDER BY Period
