use generate series - sql

Question

Im writing a psql procedure to read source table, then agregate and write in aggregate table.
My table source contains 2 columns beg, and end refers to client connection to the website, and client disconnect.
I want to caculate for each client the time that he spends . The purpose to use generate series is when the event is over one day.
My pseudo code is below
execute $$SELECT MAX(date_) FROM $$||aggregate_table INTO max_date;
IF max_date is not NULL THEN
execute $$DELETE FROM $$||aggregate_table||$$ WHERE date_ >= $$||quote_literal(max_date);
ELSE
max_date := 'XXXXXXX';
end if;
SELECT * from (
select
Id, gs.due_date,
(case
When TRIM(set) ~ '^OPT[0-9]{3}/MINUTE/$'
Then 'minute'
When TRIM(set) ~ '^OPT[0-9]{3}/SECOND/$'
Then 'second'
as TIME,
sum(extract(epoch from (least(s.end, gs.date_ + interval '1 day') -
greatest(s.beg, gs.date_)
)
) / 60) as Timing
from source s cross join lateral
generate_series(date_trunc(‘day’, s.beg), date_trunc('day',
least(s.end,
CASE WHEN $$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$ = ‘XXXXXXX’
THEN (current_date)
ELSE $$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$
END)
), interval '1 day’) gs(date_)
where ( (beg, end) overlaps ($$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$'00:00:00', $$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$'23:59:59’))
group by id, gs.date_, TIME
) as X
where ($$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$ = X.date_ and $$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$ != ‘XXXXXXX’)
OR ($$||quote_literal(max_date)||$$ ='XXXXXXX')
Data of table source
number, beg, end, id, set
(10, '2019-10-25 13:00:00', '2019-10-25 13:30:00', 1234, 'OPT111/MINUTE/'),
(11, '2019-10-25 13:00:00', '2019-10-25 14:00:00', 1234, 'OPT111/MINUTE/'),
(12, '2019-11-04 09:19:00', '2019-11-04 09:29:00', 1124, 'OPT111/SECOND/'),
(13, '2019-11-04 22:00:00', '2019-11-05 02:00:00', 1124, 'OPT111/MINUTE/')
Expected_output agregate table
2019-10-25, 1234, MINUTE, 90(1h30)
2019-11-04, 1124, SECOND, 10
2019-11-04, 1124, MINUTE, 120
2019-11-05, 1124, MINUTE, 120
The problem of my code is that, it diesn't work if i have new row that will be added tomorrow with for example (14, '2019-11-06 12:00:00', '2019-11-06 13:00:00', 1124, 'OPT111/MINUTE/').
Please guys who can help?
thank you

Here is my solution. I have changed column names in order to avoid reserved words. You may need to touch the formatting of duration.
with mycte as
(
select -- the first / first and only days
id, col_beg,
case when col_beg::date = col_end::date then col_end else date_trunc('day', col_end) end as col_end
from mytable
union all
select -- the last days of multi-day periods
id, date_trunc('day', col_end) as col_beg, col_end
from mytable
where col_end::date > col_beg::date
union all
select -- the middle days of multi-day periods
id, rd as col_beg, rd::date + 1 as col_end
from mytable
cross join lateral generate_series(col_beg::date + 1, col_end::date - 1, interval '1 day') g(rd)
where col_end::date > col_beg::date + 1
)
select
col_beg::date as start_time, id, sum(col_end - col_beg) as duration
from mycte group by 1, 2 order by 1;
