How to merge time intervals in SQL Server
You can use a recursive CTE to build a list of dates and then count the distinct dates.
declare @T table
(
startDate date,
endDate date
);
insert into @T values
('2011-01-01', '2011-01-05'),
('2011-01-04', '2011-01-08'),
('2011-01-11', '2011-01-15');
with C as
(
select startDate,
endDate
from @T
union all
select dateadd(day, 1, startDate),
endDate
from C
where dateadd(day, 1, startDate) < endDate
)
select count(distinct startDate) as DayCount
from C
option (MAXRECURSION 0)
Result:
DayCount
-----------
11
Or you can use a numbers table. Here I use master..spt_values:
declare @MinStartDate date
select @MinStartDate = min(startDate)
from @T
select count(distinct N.number)
from @T as T
inner join master..spt_values as N
on dateadd(day, N.Number, @MinStartDate) between T.startDate and dateadd(day, -1, T.endDate)
where N.type = 'P'
Merge overlapping time intervals, how?
You may also try this query (once more solutions beside those given by PM 77-1
in the comment above) :
WITH RECURSIVE cte( id, date_start, date_end ) AS
(
SELECT id, date_start, date_end
FROM evento
UNION
SELECT e.id,
least( c.date_start, e.date_start ),
greatest( c.date_end, e.date_end )
FROM cte c
JOIN evento e
ON e.date_start between c.date_start and c.date_end
OR
e.date_end between c.date_start and c.date_end
)
SELECT distinct date_start, date_end
FROM (
SELECT id,
min( date_start) date_start,
max( date_end ) date_end
FROM cte
GROUP BY id
) xx
ORDER BY date_start;

however for huge table the performance of this query could be horribly slow, and some procedural approach might perform better.
Combine continuous datetime intervals by type
Since your ranges are continuous, the problem essentially becomes a gaps-and-islands one. If only you had a criterion to help you to distinguish between different sequences with the same t
value, you could group all the rows using that criterion, then just take MIN(s), MAX(e)
for every group.
One method of obtaining such a criterion is to use two ROW_NUMBER
calls. Consider the following query:
SELECT
*,
rnk1 = ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY s),
rnk2 = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t ORDER BY s)
FROM @periods
;
For your example it would return the following set:
s e t rnk1 rnk2
---------- ---------- -- ---- ----
2013-01-01 2013-01-02 3 1 1
2013-01-02 2013-01-04 1 2 1
2013-01-04 2013-01-05 1 3 2
2013-01-05 2013-01-06 2 4 1
2013-01-06 2013-01-07 2 5 2
2013-01-07 2013-01-08 2 6 3
2013-01-08 2013-01-09 1 7 3
The interesting thing about the rnk1
and rnk2
rankings is that if you subtract one from the other, you will get values that, together with t
, uniquely identify every distinct sequence of rows with the same t
:
s e t rnk1 rnk2 rnk1 - rnk2
---------- ---------- -- ---- ---- -----------
2013-01-01 2013-01-02 3 1 1 0
2013-01-02 2013-01-04 1 2 1 1
2013-01-04 2013-01-05 1 3 2 1
2013-01-05 2013-01-06 2 4 1 3
2013-01-06 2013-01-07 2 5 2 3
2013-01-07 2013-01-08 2 6 3 3
2013-01-08 2013-01-09 1 7 3 4
Knowing that, you can easily apply grouping and aggregation. This is what the final query might look like:
WITH partitioned AS (
SELECT
*,
g = ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY s)
- ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY t ORDER BY s)
FROM @periods
)
SELECT
s = MIN(s),
e = MAX(e),
t
FROM partitioned
GROUP BY
t,
g
;

Merging date intervals in SQL Server
It takes longer for me to set up the sample data than to write the query - it would be better if you posted questions that include CREATE TABLE
and INSERT/SELECT
statements. I don't know what your table is called, I've called mine Periods:
create table Periods (
StartDate date not null,
EndDate date not null
)
go
insert into Periods(StartDate,EndDate)
select '19820302','19820930' union all
select '19821001','19850117' union all
select '19850626','19850726' union all
select '19850730','19911231' union all
select '19920101','19951231' union all
select '19960101','20040531' union all
select '20040605','20060131' union all
select '20060201','20110520'
go
; with MergedPeriods as (
Select p1.StartDate, p1.EndDate
from
Periods p1
left join
Periods p2
on
p1.StartDate = DATEADD(day,1,p2.EndDate)
where
p2.StartDate is null
union all
select p1.StartDate,p2.EndDate
from
MergedPeriods p1
inner join
Periods p2
on
p1.EndDate = DATEADD(day,-1,p2.StartDate)
)
select StartDate,MAX(EndDate) as EndDate
from MergedPeriods group by StartDate
Result:
StartDate EndDate
1982-03-02 1985-01-17
1985-06-26 1985-07-26
1985-07-30 2004-05-31
2004-06-05 2011-05-20
SQL time data merging 30 minute intervals that span a time range per person per activity - time card
I think I have this sussed, admittedly it's not pretty and no doubt a more elegant solution will be along, however the following gives you the desired results using window functions to look at the previous row data.
(note my date format is DMY)
Test data
create table test (EmpNo int, Activity varchar(10), AStart datetime, AEnd datetime)
insert into test
select 1 EmpNo, 'Login' Activity,'17/3/2021 09:18:37' Astart,'17/3/2021 09:26:54 ' AEnd union all
select 1, 'Break','17/3/2021 10:43:25','17/3/2021 10:58:07 ' union all
