You can write a function. Calculate for every day between
notification_time and finished_time this timestamps for every day. I
mean, for instance your first row:


2007-07-06 15:50:00+10       2007-07-07 00:00:00+10
2007-07-07 00:00:00+10       2007-07-08 00:00:00+10
2007-07-08 00:00:00+10       2007-07-09 00:00:00+10
2007-07-09 00:00:00+10       2007-07-09 07:20:00+10

Now check, if the first timestamp are a working day (select
extract('dow' from '2007-07-06 15:50:00+10'::timestamptz)). If so, than
calculate the working-time and adds all.

A little function for you:

<--- cut
create or replace function intersect_time (IN start timestamptz, IN stop timestamptz, IN w_start timestamptz, IN w_end
timestamptz,OUT duration interval) as $$
 
declare       _s1     alias for $1;       _e1     alias for $2;       _s2     alias for $3;       _e2     alias for $4;
     _start  timestamptz;       _end    timestamptz;
 

begin
       if _s1 < _s2 then               _start := _s2;       else               _start := _s1;       end if;
       if _e1 < _e2 then               _end := _e1;       else               _end := _e2;       end if;
       if _start < _end then               duration := _end - _start;       else               duration :=
'0'::interval;      end if;
 
       return;

end;
$$language plpgsql;

--- cut

A simple test:

Only the first and the last are working days, so we call the function
for this rows:


test=*# select intersect_time('2007-07-06 15:50:00+10'::timestamptz,'2007-07-07 00:00:00+10'::timestamptz, '2007-07-06
07:00:00+10'::timestamptz,'2007-07-06 17:00:00+10'::timestamptz);intersect_time
 
----------------01:10:00
(1 row)

test=*# select intersect_time('2007-07-09 00:00:00+10'::timestamptz,'2007-07-09 07:10:00+10'::timestamptz, '2007-07-09
07:00:00+10'::timestamptz,'2007-07-09 17:00:00+10'::timestamptz);intersect_time
 
----------------00:10:00
(1 row)


test=*# select '01:10:00'::interval + '00:10:00'::interval;?column?
----------01:20:00
(1 row)



Hope that helps, Andreas
