If you are "trying to count() overlapping entries" then it would seem to me that you would only have only one value for the count. Either a range overlaps or it does not.Oh, sorry, the count was in wrong order.Let me explain,insert into event(name, start_time, end_time) values('a', '2015-12-20', NULL) , ('a', '2015-12-20', '2015-12-31') , ('a', '2015-12-25', '2016-01-01') , ('b', '2015-11-20', '2015-11-24') , ('c', '2016-02-01', '2016-02-03') , ('c', '2016-02-01', '2016-02-04') , ('c', '2016-02-01', NULL) ;All 'a', 'b' and 'c' have points in common, with count a=3, b=1, c=3.Thanks.
I think data are not correct...
Expected result is the same as count() group by name...
But I guess you have included name column just to different ranges for overlap...
But actually there is just 2 ranges:name b is 1 range, name a & c are second range. all overlaps by first range '2015-12-20, null) - it contains all records named as C ranges
