If your best resolution data is "per day", then no - there simply is 
not the data to graph at a higher resolution. RRD only stores the 
data you ask it to plus a few internal values used to calculate it.

If you want to plot/extract data for a higher resolution, then you'll 
have to alter your database to hold the extra data, and possibly 
modify your collection routines to make sure it's populated in a 
timely manner.
