Thanks Steve,
I'm not sure if I quite grasped this. It gives a bit funny results:
SELECT sum ((date_smaller(res_end_day, '2007-12-31'::date) -
date_larger(res_start_day, '2006-12-31'::date)) * group_size) AS
days_in_period,
c.country_name AS country
FROM product_res pr
LEFT JOIN countries c ON pr.country_id = c.country_id
WHERE group_id = 1 AND res_end_day >= '2007-01-01' AND res_end_day <=
'2008-12-31' group by pr.country_id, c.country_name;days_in_period | country
----------------+-------------------- -441137 | -30 | Germany -28 | Estonia 60 |
Bulgaria -25003 | Russian Federation -207670 | Suomi 256 | Ukraine -6566 | Latvia
-280 | United States -1889 | Switzerland 114 | Lithuania 36 | Norway -66 |
Sweden 170 | Kazakhstan 72 | Belarus
(15 rows)
Anyway, I have to rethink and elaborate the query. I know that it will usually
be on a monthly or yearly basis, but a reservation can actually be any of the
following in relation to the given (arbitrary) period:
1. start_day before period_start, end_day = period_start
2. start_day before period_start, end_day in period
3. start_day before period_start, end_day = period_end
4. start_day = period_start, end_day in period
5. start_day in period, end_day in period
6. start_day = period_start, end_day = period_end
7. start_day in period, end_day = period_end
8. start_day in period, end_day after period_end
9. start_day = period_start, end_day = period_end
10 start_day before period_start, end_day after period_end
Hmm ...
