Thank you, and I wanted to follow up on this. I couldn't quite get your
example working as described, but I also ended up trying something very
similar that got me very close but not quite there. Basically, I can see
that it is correctly calculating the ranges (in the notices), but it is
only returning the last range for each client. (Because I said PARTITION
BY client_id).
So I'm not sure if I should be calling this differently, or if the function
needs to work differently, or if this just isn't possible. Do I need to
partition by something else, and if so what? I don't see what I could
specify that would indicate a new episode.
Also, it's not clear to me how an aggregate might define/return different
values within a partition. Although this must be possible, since functions
like rank() and row_number() seem to do it.
Hoping there is something easy that can be tweaked here. See below for
copy/pastable test stuff. It includes output from both functions. Both
look to be returning the same results, which makes me wonder if my passing
in a start date was a waste of time, though it seems to me it would be
necessary.
Cheers,
Ken
