For a "quickest lookup", one would use a lookup table. Considering your query with second precisions, you'd need to store 62400 entries per day, so if you have to query data from lots of days, you might need to invest in memory. But it gives you the quickest lookup time.

    I think you mean "86400 entries per day" otherwise I have no clue where you pulled that number from.

      Indeed.
