I'm guessing that this isn't possible, but you guys are pretty smart. :)
Short version, is there a way to implement an exclusive OR in a where clause?
table1
dt1(timestamp)
---------
3 mins
5 mins
7 mins
table2
dt2(timestamp), timedifference(interval)
--------------- ----------------------
4 mins 1 min ( always positive )
I want to join these two tables, grabbing the row from table 1 that
has a time equal to table2's record + interval, but table 2 could
have values that fall smack dab in the middle of two table1 records,
and I don't want both.
select
t1.dt1
from
table1 t1,
table2 t2
where
t2.dt2 + t2.timedifference = t1.dt1
XOR ;-)
t2.dt2 - t2.timedifference = t1.dt1
It's not important which of the two closest times
I get, but would like to get just one without being
messy.
Thanks for any ideas. Maybe there's a great function out there
that solves this?
