What about sub selects. As I see it you only care about the highest
and lowest order of results in each list.
Sorry, in am on a mobile so I can nit make a test case, and this will
be pseudo SQL.
Select * from table where start <= (select foo) and ( select foo) ...
Also look at the "between" and "in" keywords.
Perhaps your list of timestamps is not in a database, can you put then
in?
Either way unless I am reading you wrong you only need the greatest
and lowest time in your comparison, not a huge list.

Hi All
I am kind of stuck with this query , cant expand my thinking. May
this is a
limitation. Here it is
I have a database with many cols two of which are start and end
position for
an event.
Now I have a list of event time stamps, I want to find all the info
once the
current event time stamp is >= start time of event and <=end time of
event.
something like this
select * from table_name where start <= ( LIST of time stamps) AND
end >=(
list of time stamps).
Clearly above query accepts only one item in the list. Is there a
way to do
this for multiple items in the list ??? I can't think of anything at
this
moment.
Thanks,
-Abhi
