    Change the UNION ALL to just UNION. But the only way you'd have dups is if parent1 and parent2 both contained the same data.

    If you mean all times for today's date, and not all times for the immediately preceding 24 hours, then you should do this:

    You need a WHERE condition on the SELECT from the CTE:

    log2.STime EndTime,
