This is actually my first question on stackoverflow, so I sincerely apologize if I am confusing or unclear.
That being said, here is my issue:
I work at a car manufacturing company and we have recently implemented the ability to track when our machines are idle. This is done by assessing the start and end time of the event called "idle_start."
Right now, I am trying to get the SUM of how long a machine is idle. Now, I figured this out BUT, some of the idle_times are LONGER than 24 hours.
So, when I specify that I only want to see the idle_time sums of ONE particular day, the sum is also counting the idle time past 24 hours.
I want to provide the option of CUTTING OFF at that 24 hours. Is this possible?
Here is the query:
{code}
SELECT r.`name` 'Producer'
, m.`name` 'Manufacturer'
-- , timediff(re.time_end, re.time_start) 'Idle Time Length'
, SEC_TO_TIME(SUM((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(re.time_end, re.time_start))))) 'Total Time'
, (SUM((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(re.time_end, re.time_start)))))/3600 'Total Time in Hours'
, (((SUM((TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(re.time_end, re.time_start)))))/3600))/((IF(r.resource_status_id = 2, COUNT(r.resource_id), NULL))*24) 'Percent Machine is Idle divided by Machine Hours'
FROM resource_event re
JOIN resource_event_type ret
ON re.resource_event_type_id = ret.resource_event_type_id
JOIN resource_event_type reep
ON ret.parent_resource_event_type_id = reep.resource_event_type_id
JOIN resource r
ON r.`resource_id` = re.`resource_id`
JOIN manufacturer m
ON m.`manufacturer_id` = r.`manufacturer_id`
WHERE re.`resource_event_type_id` = 19
AND ret.`parent_resource_event_type_id` = 3
AND DATE_FORMAT(re.time_start, '%Y-%m-%d') >= '2013-08-12'
AND DATE_FORMAT(re.time_start, '%Y-%m-%d') <= '2013-08-18'
-- AND re.`resource_id` = 8
AND "Idle Time Length" IS NOT NULL
AND r.manufacturer_id = 13
AND r.resource_status_id = 2
GROUP BY 1, 2
Feel free to ignore the dash marks up top. And please tell me if I can be more specific as to figure this out easier and provide less headaches for those willing to help me out.
Thank you so much!
You'll want a conditional SUM, using CASE.
Not sure of syntax for your db exactly, but something like:
, SUM (CASE WHEN TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(re.time_end, re.time_start))/3600 > 24 THEN 0
ELSE TIME_TO_SEC(TIMEDIFF(re.time_end, re.time_start))/3600
END)'Total Time in Hours'
This is not an attempt to answer your question. It's being presented as an answer rather than a comment for better formatting and readability.
You have this
AND DATE_FORMAT(re.time_start, '%Y-%m-%d') >= '2013-08-12'
AND DATE_FORMAT(re.time_start, '%Y-%m-%d') <= '2013-08-18'
in your where clause. Using functions like this make your query take longer to execute, especially on indexed fields. Something like this would run quicker.
AND re.time_start >= a date value goes here
AND re.time_start <= another date value goes here
Do you want to cut off when start/end are before/after your time range?
You can use a case to adjust it based on your timeframe, e.g. for time_start
case
when re.time_start < timestamp '2013-08-12 00:00:00'
then timestamp '2013-08-12 00:00:00'
else re.time_start
end
similar for time_end and then use those CASEs within your TIMEDIFF.
Btw, your where-condition for a given date range should be:
where time_start < timestamp '2013-08-19 00:00:00'
and time_end >= timestamp '2013-08-12 00:00:00'
This will return all idle times between 2013-08-12 and 2013-08-18
Okay, so I've done quite a lot of reading on the possibility of emulating the networkdays function of excel in sql, and have come to the conclusion that by far the easiest solution is to have a calendar table which will flag working days or non working days. However, due to circumstances out of my control, we don't have access to such a luxury and it's unlikely that we will any time in the near future.
Currently I have managed to bodge together what is undoubtedly a horrible ineffecient query in SQL that does work - the catch is, it will only work for a single client record at a time.

Basically, I'm wondering if a) I should stop wasting my time on this or b) is it possible to get this to work for multiple clients? Any pointers appreciated thanks!
Edit: Further clarification - I already work out timescales using excel, but it would be ideal if we could do it in the report as the report in question is something that we would like end users to be able to run without any further manipulation.
Edit:
MarkBannister's answer works perfectly albeit slowly (though I had expected as much given it's not the preferred solution) - the challenge now lies in me integrating this into an existing report!

There are a few ways to do this. Perhaps the simplest might be to create a CTE that produces a virtual calendar table, based on Oracle's connect by syntax, and then join it to the Assesments table, like so:

This will produce a virtual table populated with dates from 01 January 2000 to 10 years after the current date, with all weekends marked as non-working days and all days specified in the second in clause (ie. up to 27 December 2011) also marked as non-working days.
The drawback of this method (or any method where the holiday dates are hardcoded into the query) is that each time new holiday dates are defined, every single query that uses this approach will have to have those dates added.
If you can't use a calendar table in Oracle, you might be better off exporting to Excel. Brute force always works.
Networkdays() "returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays."
Excluding weekends seems fairly straightforward. Every 7-day period will contain two weekend days. You'll just need to take some care with the leftover days.
Holidays are a different story. You have to either store them or pass them as an argument. If you could store them, you'd store them in a calendar table, and your problem would be over. But you can't do that.
So you're looking at passing them as an argument. Off the top of my head--and I haven't had any tea yet this morning--I'd consider a common table expression or a wrapper for a stored procedure.
