Re: How to find earlest possible start times for given duration excluding reservations

Hi!

I'm looking for finding ealiest possible start times from reservations table.

People work from 10:00AM to 21:00PM in every week day except Sunday and public holidays.

Jobs for them are reserved at 15 minute intervals and whole job must fit to single day.
Job duration is from 15 minutes to 4 hours.

Reservat table contains reservations, yksus2 table contains workes and
pyha table contains public holidays. Table structures are below. Reservat structure can changed if this helps.

How to first earliest 30 possible start times considering existing reservations ?

For example, Mary has already reservation at 12:30 .. 16:00 and
John has already reservation at 12:00 to 13:00

In this case query for job with duration of 1.5 hours should return

   John 2014-10-28 10:00
   Mary 2014-10-28 10:00
   John 2014-10-28 10:30
   Mary 2014-10-28 10:30
   Mary 2014-10-28 11:00
   John 2014-10-28 13:00
   Mary 2014-10-28 16:00
   Mary 2014-10-28 16:30
   ... etc and also starting from next days

I tried query based on answer in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13433863/how-to-return-only-work-time-from-reservations-in-postgresql below but it returns wrong result:

   MARY  2014-10-28 13:00:00
   MARY  2014-10-29 22:34:40.850255
   JOHN  2014-10-30 22:34:40.850255
   MARY  2014-10-31 22:34:40.850255
   MARY  2014-11-03 22:34:40.850255

Also sliding start times 10:00, 10:30 etc are not returned.

How to get proper first reservations ?

Query which I tried is

   insert into reservat (objekt2, during) values
   ('MARY', '[2014-10-28 11:30:00,2014-10-28 13:00:00)'),
   ('JOHN', '[2014-10-28 10:00:00,2014-10-28 11:30:00)');

   with gaps as (
       select
           yksus,
           upper(during) as start,
           lead(lower(during),1,upper(during)) over (ORDER BY during) - upper(during) as gap
       from (
           select
              yksus2.yksus,
              during
             from reservat join yksus2 on reservat.objekt2=yksus2.yksus
             where  upper(during)>= current_date
           union all
           select
               yksus2.yksus,
               unnest(case
                   when pyha is not null then array[tsrange1(d, d + interval '1 day')]
                   when date_part('dow', d) in (0, 6) then array[tsrange1(d, d + interval '1 day')]
                   when d::date =  current_Date then array[
                               tsrange1(d, current_timestamp ),
                               tsrange1(d + interval '20 hours', d + interval '1 day')]
                   else array[tsrange1(d, d + interval '8 hours'),
                              tsrange1(d + interval '20 hours', d + interval '1 day')]
               end)
           from yksus2, generate_series(
               current_timestamp,
               current_timestamp + interval '1 month',
               interval '1 day'
           ) as s(d)
           left join pyha on pyha = d::date
       ) as x
   )

   select yksus, start
     from gaps
   where gap >= interval'1hour 30 minutes'
   order by start
   limit 30
