Ciro Santilli stackoverflow.com/questions/17046204/how-to-find-the-boundaries-of-groups-of-contiguous-sequential-numbers/17046749#17046749 just works, even in SQLite which supports all quoting types known to man including
[] for compatibility with insane RDBMSs!Here's a slightly saner version:
rm -f tmp.sqlite
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite "create table mytable (id integer primary key autoincrement, number integer, status integer)"
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
insert into mytable(number, status) values
(100,0),
(101,0),
(102,0),
(103,0),
(104,1),
(105,1),
(106,0),
(107,0),
(1014,0),
(1015,0),
(1016,1),
(1017,0)
EOF
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
SELECT
MIN(id) AS "id",
MIN(number) AS "from",
MAX(number) AS "to"
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY number) - number AS grp, id, number
FROM mytable
WHERE status = 0
)
GROUP BY grp
ORDER BY MIN(number)
EOFoutput:
1|100|103
7|106|107
9|1014|1015
12|1017|1017To get only groups of length greater than 1:
sqlite3 tmp.sqlite <<EOF
SELECT "id", "from", "to", "to" - "from" + 1 as "len" FROM (
SELECT
MIN("id") AS "id",
MIN(number) AS "from",
MAX(number) AS "to"
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY "number") - "number" AS "grp", "id", "number"
FROM "mytable"
WHERE "status" = 0
)
GROUP BY "grp"
ORDER BY MIN("number")
) WHERE "len" > 1
EOFOutput:
1|100|103|4
7|106|107|2
9|1014|1015|2
