   Oxnard to All   
   deducing ranges in SQL   
   26 Feb 06 21:39:59   
   
   From: oxnardNO_SPAM@comcast.net   
      
   Oracle 9.2.0.6 in AIX   
      
   I am trying to find ranges and where the range ends for each d_no:   
   The increment of val is one   
      
   My example is:   
      
   select * from t1   
      
   d_no    val   
   1        20   
   1        21   
   1       22   
   1       23   
   1       25   
   1      1503   
   1      1504   
   3      502   
   3       503   
   3        504   
   3        600   
      
   I am trying to come up with an SQL which would produce an output of   
      
   d_no      the_range   
   1         20-23   
   1         25   
   1         1503-1504   
   3         502-504   
   3         600   
      
   I have tried using some of the analytic functions and got close with lead   
   but not quite. I could do a cursor in   
   PL/SQL but the table is so huge it takes way to long. In fact I did do this   
   on a small table. It worked just fine.   
   Also what I am showing as a table is really an in-line view of a couple of   
   tables I have joined.   
      
   Any ideas would really be helpful   
      
   Thank you
