Combining Rows Based on Time Constraints in SQL
Combining Rows Based on Time Constraints In this article, we’ll explore a common problem in data manipulation where rows need to be combined based on specific time constraints. Problem Statement Suppose we have a table with three columns: Sr.No, start, and end. The start column represents the start date and time of an activity, while the end column represents the end date and time. We also have another column called Actual_Date which is used to keep track of the actual completion date of each activity.
