how to find gaps between range

  •  

    I use sql 2012 but, one can answer up to 2019

     

    create table t ( b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into T (B,C) values ( 1,200);

    Insert into T (B,C) values (   200   ,400);

    Insert into T (B,C) values (  600,   900);

    create table t1 (b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values ( 1,100);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values (  200   ,500);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values (  800,   1000);

    -- "t" and "t1" table holds ranges which could be any thing where b<c, i have to find out where "t" has range but "t1" does not?

    --ex "t"  has 1,200 , "t1"  1,100 means i want to see 100 to 200 t2 does not have any thing.

    Q) i have to find out the range where "t" has got range but "t1" does not? that means start range and end range will be passed

    and i have to find out the range where "t1" is not done but "t" is done

    -- case 1 table "t" and "t1" will have no overlap  with in the table

    -- case 2 they will have overlap with in the table.

     

    yours sincerely

  • I can't say that I understand your question. What do you mean by: "--ex "t"  has 1,200 , "t1"  1,100 means i want to see 100 to 99 t2 does not have any thing."

    why would you want to see 100 to 99?

    Can you explain your question more clearly?

  • sorry it was 100 to 200

     

    create table t ( b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into T (B,C) values ( 1,200);

    Insert into T (B,C) values (   200   ,400);

    Insert into T (B,C) values (  600,   900);

    create table t1 (b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values ( 1,100);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values (  200   ,500);

    Insert into t1 (B,C) values (  800,   1000);

    result ( pls find where t has range and t1 does not)

    100 200

    600 800

  • How does table t join to table t1?  Are the rows intended to be in sequential 1-to-1 correspondence?  If yes, why not create only 1 table instead of 2?

    1) two tables store range data related to two different activities, but for simplicity, I have removed other cols.

    2) any range could be entered as long as decimal(13,4) supports.

    3) I have to find out the range where  "t1" activity is not done but "t" activity is done?

    Currently there's no way to join rows from table t to rows in table t1.  Are any of the columns you've removed present in both of the two tables?

    In your example "t" has 1,200 , "t1" 1,100 [and the expected answer is] "100 to 200".  Doesn't the value 100 overlap?  If any range could be entered then wouldn't you have to consider possible decimal values?  Why isn't the expected range 100.0001 to 200?

    What if the "t" range completely encompasses the "t1" range?  Doesn't it result in 2 non-contiguous ranges?  Suppose "t" is 100,400 and "t1" is 200,300 what is/are the expected range(s)?  Would it be both 100 to 199.9999 and 300.0001 to 400?

  • I believe that this solves your problem.  It's a variation on interval packing as discussed by Itzik Ben-Gan.

    create table #t ( b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into #T (B,C)
    values
    (1, 200)
    , (200, 400)
    , (600, 900);

    create table #t1 (b decimal(13,4) not null, c decimal(13,4) not null);

    Insert into #t1 (B,C)
    values
    (1, 100)
    , (200, 500)
    , (800, 1000);

    NOTE: This uses half-closed intervals (the start point is included in the range, but the end point is not).

  • thank u , i am working on it.

    -- b and c col can get reversed range like insted of 2 to 5 one can enter 5 to 2 , so i have added some code for it.

    similarly from overlap we have to show only one tid the last one so have added some code for it also.

    -- b and e could be reversed

    -- and show only latest tid from #t table in case of overlap
