Calculating per day in SQL - sql

Question

I have an sql table like that:
Id Date Price
1 21.09.09 25
2 31.08.09 16
1 23.09.09 21
2 03.09.09 12
So what I need is to get min and max date for each id and dif in days between them. It is kind of easy. Using SQLlite syntax:
SELECT id,
min(date),
max(date),
julianday(max(date)) - julianday(min(date)) as dif
from table group by id
Then the tricky one: how can I receive the price per day during this difference period. I mean something like this:
ID Date PricePerDay
1 21.09.09 25
1 22.09.09 0
1 23.09.09 21
2 31.08.09 16
2 01.09.09 0
2 02.09.09 0
2 03.09.09 12
I create a cte as you mentioned with calendar but dont know how to get the desired result:
WITH RECURSIVE
cnt(x) AS (
SELECT 0
UNION ALL
SELECT x+1 FROM cnt
LIMIT (SELECT ((julianday('2015-12-31') - julianday('2015-01-01')) + 1)))
SELECT date(julianday('2015-01-01'), '+' || x || ' days') as date FROM cnt
p.s. If it will be in sqllite syntax-would be awesome!

Answer 1

You can use a recursive CTE to calculate all the days between the min date and max date. The rest is just a left join and some logic:
with recursive cte as (
select t.id, min(date) as thedate, max(date) as maxdate
from t
group by id
union all
select cte.id, date(thedate, '+1 day') as thedate, cte.maxdate
from cte
where cte.thedate < cte.maxdate
)
select cte.id, cte.date,
coalesce(t.price, 0) as PricePerDay
from cte left join
t
on cte.id = t.id and cte.thedate = t.date;

Answer 2

One method is using a tally table.
To build a list of dates and join that with the table.
The date stamps in the DD.MM.YY format are first changed to the YYYY-MM-DD date format.
To make it possible to actually use them as a date in the SQL.
At the final select they are formatted back to the DD.MM.YY format.
First some test data:
create table testtable (Id int, [Date] varchar(8), Price int);
insert into testtable (Id,[Date],Price) values (1,'21.09.09',25);
insert into testtable (Id,[Date],Price) values (1,'23.09.09',21);
insert into testtable (Id,[Date],Price) values (2,'31.08.09',16);
insert into testtable (Id,[Date],Price) values (2,'03.09.09',12);
The SQL:
with Digits as (
select 0 as n
union all select 1
union all select 2
union all select 3
union all select 4
union all select 5
union all select 6
union all select 7
union all select 8
union all select 9
),
t as (
select Id,
('20'||substr([Date],7,2)||'-'||substr([Date],4,2)||'-'||substr([Date],1,2)) as [Date],
Price
from testtable
),
Dates as (
select Id, date(MinDate,'+'||(d2.n*10+d1.n)||' days') as [Date]
from (
select Id, min([Date]) as MinDate, max([Date]) as MaxDate
from t
group by Id
) q
join Digits d1
join Digits d2
where date(MinDate,'+'||(d2.n*10+d1.n)||' days') <= MaxDate
)
select d.Id,
(substr(d.[Date],9,2)||'.'||substr(d.[Date],6,2)||'.'||substr(d.[Date],3,2)) as [Date],
coalesce(t.Price,0) as Price
from Dates d
left join t on (d.Id = t.Id and d.[Date] = t.[Date])
order by d.Id, d.[Date];
The recursive SQL below was totally inspired by the excellent answer from Gordon Linoff.
And a recursive SQL is probably more performant for this anyway.
(He should get the 15 points for the accepted answer).
The difference in this version is that the datestamps are first formatted to YYYY-MM-DD.
with t as (
select Id,
('20'||substr([Date],7,2)||'-'||substr([Date],4,2)||'-'||substr([Date],1,2)) as [Date],
Price
from testtable
),
cte as (
select Id, min([Date]) as [Date], max([Date]) as MaxDate from t
group by Id
union all
select Id, date([Date], '+1 day'), MaxDate from cte
where [Date] < MaxDate
)
select cte.Id,
(substr(cte.[Date],9,2)||'.'||substr(cte.[Date],6,2)||'.'||substr(cte.[Date],3,2)) as [Date],
coalesce(t.Price, 0) as PricePerDay
from cte
left join t
on (cte.Id = t.Id and cte.[Date] = t.[Date])
order by cte.Id, cte.[Date];
