Maybe something like this...: use test; create table visit (id int primary key not null,arrival int,departure int); insert into visit values (1,1,3),(2,2,4),(3,2,5),(4,2,3),(5,3,6), (6,3,4),(7,3,4),(8,4,5),(9,5,6); create temporary table times (id int primary key not null); insert into times values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5),(6); select times.id,count(*) as cnt from times,visit where times.id between visit.arrival and visit.departure group by times.id; In the 'times' table, you would put the timestamps you want as checkpoints, 00:05, 00:10, 00:15 and so on for the appropriate date. Add ORDER BY to get the most busy times first: ... order by cnt desc; -- Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
