Multi - Columns OVERLAPPING DATES - sql-server

Question

;with cte as (
select Domain_Id, Starting_Date, End_Date
from Que_Date
union all
select t.Domain_Id, cte.Starting_Date, t.End_Date
from cte
join Que_Date t on cte.Domain_Id = t.Domain_Id and cte.End_Date = t.Starting_Date),
cte2 as (
select *, rn = row_number() over (partition by Domain_Id, End_Date order by Domain_Id)
from cte
)
select DISTINCT Domain_Id, Starting_Date, max(End_Date) enddate
from cte2
where rn=1
group by Domain_Id, Starting_Date
order by Domain_Id, Starting_Date;
select * from Que_Date
This is the code that I have wrote but i am getting an extra row i.e 2nd row is extra, the expected output should have only 1st, 3rd and 4th row as output so please help me with it.
I have attached an image showing Input, Excepted Output, and the output that I am getting.

Answer 1

You've got so many results in your first cte. Your first cte has consisting domains. So you cannot filter domains based on your cte. So you query has unnecessary rows.
Try this solution. Cte ConsistentDomains has just consistent domains. So based on this cte, we can get not overlapped results.
Create and fill data:
CREATE TABLE FooTable
(
Domain_ID INT,
Starting_Date DATE,
End_Date Date
)
INSERT INTO dbo.FooTable
(
Domain_ID,
Starting_Date,
End_Date
)
VALUES
( 1, -- Domain_ID - int
CONVERT(datetime,'01-01-2011',103), -- Starting_Date - date
CONVERT(datetime,'05-01-2011',103) -- End_Date - date
)
, (1, CONVERT(datetime,'05-01-2011',103), CONVERT(datetime,'07-01-2011',103))
, (1, CONVERT(datetime,'07-01-2011',103), CONVERT(datetime,'15-01-2011',103))
, (2, CONVERT(datetime,'11-05-2011',103), CONVERT(datetime,'12-05-2011',103))
, (2, CONVERT(datetime,'13-05-2011',103), CONVERT(datetime,'14-05-2011',103))
Query to find not overlapping results:
DECLARE #startDate varchar(50) = '2011-01-01';
WITH ConsistentDomains AS
(
SELECT
f.Domain_ID
, f.Starting_Date
, f.End_Date
FROM FooTable f
WHERE f.Starting_Date = #startDate
UNION ALL
SELECT
s.Domain_ID
, s.Starting_Date
, s.End_Date
FROM FooTable s
INNER JOIN ConsistentDomains cd
ON s.Domain_ID = cd.Domain_ID
AND s.Starting_Date = cd.End_Date
), ConsistentDomainsRownumber AS
(
SELECT
cd.Domain_ID
, cd.Starting_Date
, cd.End_Date
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY cd.Domain_ID ORDER BY cd.Starting_Date,
cd.End_Date) RN
FROM ConsistentDomains cd
)
SELECT cd.Domain_ID
, convert(varchar, cd.Starting_Date, 105) Starting_Date
, convert(varchar, cd.End_Date, 105) End_Date
FROM ConsistentDomainsRownumber cd WHERE cd.RN = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT
ft.Domain_ID
, convert(varchar, ft.Starting_Date, 105) Starting_Date
, convert(varchar, ft.End_Date, 105) End_Date
FROM dbo.FooTable ft WHERE ft.Domain_ID NOT IN (SELECT cd.Domain_ID FROM
ConsistentDomainsRownumber cd)
Output:

I used the same table creating script as provided by #stepup, but you can also get your outcome in this way.
CREATE TABLE testtbl
(
Domain_ID INT,
Starting_Date DATE,
End_Date Date
)
INSERT INTO testtbl
VALUES
(1, convert(date, '01-01-2011' ,103), convert(date, '05-01-2011',103) )
,(1, convert(date, '05-01-2011' ,103), convert(date, '07-01-2011',103) )
,(1, convert(date, '07-01-2011' ,103), convert(date, '15-01-2011',103) )
,(2, convert(date, '11-05-2011' ,103), convert(date, '12-05-2011',103) )
,(2, convert(date, '13-05-2011' ,103), convert(date, '14-05-2011',103) )
You can make use of self join and Firs_value and last value within the group to make sure that you are comparing within the same ID and overlapping dates.
select distinct t.Domain_ID,
case when lag(t1.starting_date)over (partition by t.Domain_id order by
t.starting_date) is not null
then first_value(t.Starting_Date) over (partition by t.domain_id order by
t.starting_date)
else t.Starting_Date end StartingDate,
case when lead(t.domain_id) over (partition by t.domain_id order by t.starting_date) =
t1.Domain_ID then isnull(last_value(t.End_Date) over (partition by t.domain_id order by t.end_date rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following),t.End_Date)
else t.End_Date end end_date
from testtbl t
left join testtbl t1 on t.Domain_ID = t1.Domain_ID
and t.End_Date = t1.Starting_Date
and t.Starting_Date < t1.Starting_Date
Output:
Domain_ID StartingDate end_date
1 2011-01-01 2011-01-15
2 2011-05-11 2011-05-12
2 2011-05-13 2011-05-14
