Hi,
At first glance, this seemed simple to implement, but this is giving me
a bit of a headache.
Say we have a table as follows:
CREATE TABLE voltage_series
( voltage_record_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('voltage_series_logger_record_id_seq'::regclass), "time" timestamp
withouttime zone NOT NULL, voltage numeric, CONSTRAINT voltage_series_pkey PRIMARY KEY (voltage_record_id));
So it contains a time series of voltage measurements. Now suppose we
have another table of start/end times that we'd like to use to filter
out (or keep) records in voltage_series:
CREATE TABLE voltage_log
( record_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('voltage_log_record_id_seq'::regclass), time_beg timestamp without time
zoneNOT NULL, time_end timestamp without time zone NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT voltage_log_pkey PRIMARY KEY (record_id));
where each record represents start/end times where the voltage
measurement should be removed/kept. The goal is to retrieve the records
in voltage_series that are not included in any of the periods defined by
the start/end times in voltage_log.
I've looked at the OVERLAPS operator, but it's not evident to me whether
that is the best approach. Any tips would be appreciated.
Cheers,
