MySQL中重叠的日期时间范围的总和

Question

我有一个事件表，每个事件表在MySQL表中都有一个StartTime和EndTime（作为DateTime类型）。

我正在尝试输出重叠时间和重叠事件的总数。

在MySQL中执行此查询的最有效/最简单的方法是什么？

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `events` (
  `EventID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `StartTime` datetime NOT NULL,
  `EndTime` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`EventID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=37 ;


INSERT INTO `events` (`EventID`, `StartTime`, `EndTime`) VALUES
(10001, '2009-02-09 03:00:00', '2009-02-09 10:00:00'),
(10002, '2009-02-09 05:00:00', '2009-02-09 09:00:00'),
(10003, '2009-02-09 07:00:00', '2009-02-09 09:00:00');


# if the query was run using the data above,
# the table below would be the desired output

# Number of Overlapped Events | Total Amount of Time those events overlapped.
1, 03:00:00
2, 02:00:00
3, 02:00:00

这些结果的目的是生成使用小时数的账单。（如果您正在运行一个事件，那么您可能每小时需要支付10美元。但是，如果正在运行两个事件，则您每小时只需要支付8美元，但是在运行两个事件的时间段内。）

Answer 1

尝试这个：

SELECT `COUNT`, SEC_TO_TIME(SUM(Duration))
FROM (
    SELECT
        COUNT(*) AS `Count`,
        UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Times2.Time) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Times1.Time) AS Duration
    FROM (
        SELECT @rownum1 := @rownum1 + 1 AS rownum, `Time`
        FROM (
            SELECT DISTINCT(StartTime) AS `Time` FROM events
            UNION
            SELECT DISTINCT(EndTime) AS `Time` FROM events
        ) AS AllTimes, (SELECT @rownum1 := 0) AS Rownum
        ORDER BY `Time` DESC
    ) As Times1
    JOIN (
        SELECT @rownum2 := @rownum2 + 1 AS rownum, `Time`
        FROM (
            SELECT DISTINCT(StartTime) AS `Time` FROM events
            UNION
            SELECT DISTINCT(EndTime) AS `Time` FROM events
        ) AS AllTimes, (SELECT @rownum2 := 0) AS Rownum
        ORDER BY `Time` DESC
    ) As Times2
    ON Times1.rownum = Times2.rownum + 1
    JOIN events ON Times1.Time >= events.StartTime AND Times2.Time <= events.EndTime
    GROUP BY Times1.rownum
) Totals
GROUP BY `Count`

结果：

1, 03:00:00
2, 02:00:00
3, 02:00:00

如果这样做不能满足您的要求，或者您需要一些解释，请告诉我。通过将重复的子查询存储AllTimes在临时表中可以使其速度更快，但是希望它可以足够快地运行。
