PL / SQL Sum per hour
I have data with start and end dates that I need to summarize. I'm not sure how to code it.
Here's the data I should be using:
STARTTIME, STOPTIME, EVENTCAPACITY 8/12/2009 1:15:00 PM, 8/12/2009 1:59:59 PM, 100 8/12/2009 2:00:00 PM, 8/12/2009 2:29:59 PM, 100 8/12/2009 2:30:00 PM, 8/12/2009 2:59:59 PM, 80 8/12/2009 3:00:00 PM, 8/12/2009 3:59:59 PM, 85
In this example I will need the amount from 1pm to 2pm, 2pm to 3pm, and 3pm to 4pm
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You need a table of numbers:
select sum(e.capacity), n.value from eventtable e
left outer join numbers n on n.value between
extract(hours from e.starttime) and extract(hours from e.stoptime)
where n.value between 0 and 23
group by n.value
order by n.value
The number table has one column (value) and is populated with integer values from 0 to 100 (or more), although in this case you only need 0 to 23.
create table number (
value number(4) not null,
primary key (value)
);

I'm not sure about the exact syntax of PL / SQL, but something like this should do it (although it's rather unweildy):
select sum(capacity), case when to_char(starttime, 'HH') between '13' and '14'
and to_char(stoptime, 'HH') between '13' and '14'
then '1pm-2pm'
case when to_char(starttime, 'HH') between '14' and '15'
and to_char(stoptime, 'HH') between '14' and '15'
then '2pm-3pm'
(etc.)
as timeslot
from eventtable
group by timeslot
