Is there a way to write a query which groups together slightly differeing 
times - the current query is

Select  Snapshot_date, Count(Table1.Snapshot_date) from Table1
Group by Snapshot_Date

The problem is that the table is updated by a stored procedure which is very 
fast, but does take a few milliseconds to run so the Group By usually 
produces 2 or 3 lines.

Is there either:
1 - a way to query so that the group by does not care about say a 1 second 
discrepancy?

2 - Or Alternatively a way to force the exact same date/time into the stored 
procedure below - I guess it would mean
replacing the 'NOW' parameter below with a fixed Date/Time set at the 
beginning of the stored procedure...

In the stored procedure the code uses a subquery - simplified essence is as 
below:

BEGIN
 FOR SELECT
Table2.Field1 as Param1,
Table3.Field2 as Param2
FROM Table2,Table3

WHERE
......
.......
......
INTO
:Param1,
:Param2

DO
BEGIN
Select
Insert into Table1
(Field1,
Field2,
Snapshot_date)
VALUES
(:param1,
:Param2,
'NOW')
END

SUSPEND
