Ensure Oracle row represents a unique timespan
- by Dan F.
I have to make a process in Oracle/PLSQL. I have to verify that the interval of time between start_date and end_date from a new row that I create must not intersect other start_dates and end_dates from other rows.
Now I need to check each row for that condition and if it doesn't correspond the repetitive instruction should stop and after that to display a message such as "The interval of time given is not correct".
I don't know how to make repetitive instructions in Oracle/PLSQL and I would appreciate if you would help me.
