Обсуждение: checking the gaps in intervals
Hi dear community, Have probably quite simple task but cannot find the solution, Imagine the table A with 2 columns start and end, data type is date start end 01 dec. 10 dec 11 dec. 13 dec 17 dec. 19 dec ..... If I have interval, for example, 12 dec-18 dec, how can I determine that the interval cannot be fully covered by values from table A because of the gap 14-16 dec? Looking for solution and unfortunately nothing has come to the mind yet... Thanks, Anton

Okay, my solution, quick and dirty ;-) -- that's your table: test=*# select * from ag;date_start | date_end ------------+------------2012-12-01 | 2012-12-10 2012-12-11 | 2012-12-13 2012-12-17 | 2012-12-19 (3 rows) -- now some views: test=*# \d+ view_ag; View "public.view_ag" Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description ----------+-----------+-----------+----------+-------------my_range | daterange | | extended | View definition: SELECT daterange(ag.date_start, ag.date_end, '[]'::text) AS my_range FROM ag; test=*# \d+ view_ag2; View "public.view_ag2" Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description ----------+-----------+-----------+----------+-------------my_range | daterange | | extended |my_lag | daterange| | extended | View definition:SELECT view_ag.my_range, lag(view_ag.my_range) OVER (ORDER BY lower(view_ag.my_range)) AS my_lag FROMview_ag; test=*# \d+ view_ag3; View "public.view_ag3" Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description -----------+-----------+-----------+----------+-------------my_range | daterange | | extended |my_lag | daterange| | extended |?column? | boolean | | plain |new_range | daterange | | extended| View definition:SELECT view_ag2.my_range, view_ag2.my_lag, view_ag2.my_lag -|- view_ag2.my_range, CASE WHEN view_ag2.my_lag -|- view_ag2.my_range THEN view_ag2.my_lag + view_ag2.my_range ELSE view_ag2.my_range END AS new_range FROM view_ag2; -- and now my select: -- first case, the range is not included test=*# select count(*) from view_ag3 where new_range @> '[2012-12-12,2012-12-18]';count ------- 0 (1 row) -- and now, the range is included test=*# select count(*) from view_ag3 where new_range @> '[2012-12-02,2012-12-13]';count ------- 1 (1 row) Hope that helps, but you need the 9.2.

perhaps you can do a with-recursive query ?
create temp table Gavazuk (id serial primary key, start date ,fin date);
insert into Gavazuk (start,fin)
values ('2012-12-01','2012-12-10') ,('2012-12-11','2012-12-13') ,('2012-12-17','2012-12-19');
-- this version treats ('2012-12-01','2012-12-10') ('2012-12-11','2012-12-13')
-- as contiguous
with recursive a as ( select max (fin) as f from Gavazuk where ('2012-12-12') between start and fin union all
selectdistinct (fin) from gavazuk,a where a.f+1 between start and fin and start <= '2012-12-12'
)
select max(f) >= '2012-12-18' from a;
-- this version treats ('2012-12-01','2012-12-10') ('2012-12-11','2012-12-13')
-- as non-contiguous
with recursive a as ( select max (fin) as f from Gavazuk where ('2012-12-12') between start and fin union all
selectdistinct (fin) from gavazuk,a where a.f between start and fin-1 and start <= '2012-12-12'
)
select max(f) >= '2012-12-18' from a;

Cunning, also much more elegant and concise than my solutions!
