Getting clusters of rows close together in time
- by Mike
I have a table basically like so
ID | ItemID | Start | End |
---------------------------------------------------------------
1 234 10/20/09 8:34:22 10/20/09 8:35:10
2 274 10/20/09 8:35:30 10/20/09 8:36:27
3 272 10/21/09 12:15:00 10/21/09 12:17:00
4 112 10/21/09 12:20:14 10/21/09 12:21:21
5 15 10/21/09 12:22:39 10/21/09 12:24:15
There are two "clusters" of entries here, 1-2 and 3-5 separated by a gap in time, specifically 30 minutes is what I'm interested in.
What I would like is the first and last rows of the cluster of entries. This is fairly easy to achieve by retrieving all the rows and looping through them in order of start time, but I'd like to have it in SQL if possible.
I'm using SQL Server 2008, thanks.
