Hi Rus,
I'm not sure I follow, but the DATE column represents
the dates at which I have a certain item in stock.

ie (. for from 2001-02-04 -> 2001-02-06 I have Item1
in stock.  However I only have Item2 in stock on
2001-02-04 AND 2001-02-06).

A typical application would be a car hire company:
where the Items represent a particular car model.  My
user requests a list of all cars available from
2001-02-04 to 2001-02-06.  I can therefor only return
Item1 as Item2 is not available on 2001-02-05.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks,
-- Frank
