Thanks Andreas!
I thik i've found a better solution for my problem:
I got another solution, but I've used EXPLAIN ANALYZE, and yours is better:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE select chr(x), count(1) from generate_series(32,90) x,
sip_customer_services where upper(substring
(sip_customer_services.service_name from 1 for 1)) = chr(x) group by 1;

1)) from sip_customer_services group by upper(substr(service_name, 1,1));

Thank you very much, anyway!
