I need to check if two dates over lap with another two dates in my database.
My database looks like this
+----+--------------+------------+------------+
| id | code | StartDate | EndDate |
+----+--------------+------------+------------+
| 1 | KUVX-21-40 | 2013-10-23 | 2013-11-22 |
| 2 | UEXA286-1273 | 2013-10-30 | 2013-11-29 |
| 3 | UAJFAU-2817 | 2013-10-21 | 2013-11-20 |
| 4 | KUVX-21-40 | 2013-10-30 | 2013-11-29 |
+----+--------------+------------+------------+
In my query i specify the scope: A start date and an enddate
Lets asign them as follows:
ScopeStartDate = "2013-10-1"
ScopeEndDate = "2013-11-26"
Above should return me all of the records, since the all overlapse the timespan.
However I cannot get a query working :/
I've tried the following query with no luck:
WHERE
(
(StartDate < ScopeStartDate AND StartDate > ScopeStartDate)
OR
(StartDate > ScopeStartDate AND EndDate < ScopeEndDate )
)
This returns me two results:
1 and 3
what am I doing wrong?
解决方案
I believe the following condition matches every possible overlapping case.
WHERE
(
(ScopeStartDate <= EndDate AND ScopeEndDate >= StartDate)
)
except if you declare illogic timespans (for example, those which end before starting)
