Hi all,

I'm playing with timestamptz ranges for a hobby project. I have a table with a tstzrange column, in which the timestamps can overlap; where they do, rows with a higher priority (derived from a bigint primary key column) should be picked.

What I'd like to do is present a view which shows timestamp ranges at the front of the queue, as it were; where ranges overlap, these may be segments of a range from a particular row. I'm having trouble with this and would appreciate suggestions.

Here's a slightly simplified example:


create table bookings (
     booking_id bigint not null,
     booking_time tstzrange not null,

     constraint bookings_pk primary key (booking_id)
);

It seems to me this is missing some reference to what is being booked e.g. room number.




...which is missing the bit where they overlap; and anyway, when I add in more bookings, it gives me nonsense results. :-)

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,

Ray.
