这里有一个可以在本地使用的通用方法。

    // Takes a list and returns all records that have overlapping time ranges.
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetOverlappedTimes<T>(IEnumerable<T> list, Func<T, bool> filter, Func<T,DateTime> start, Func<T, DateTime> end)
    {
        // Selects all records that match filter() on left side and returns all records on right side that overlap.
        var overlap = from t1 in list
                      where filter(t1)
                      from t2 in list
                      where !object.Equals(t1, t2) // Don't match the same record on right side.
                      let in1 = start(t1)
                      let out1 = end(t1)
                      let in2 = start(t2)
                      let out2 = end(t2)
                      where in1 <= out2 && out1 >= in2
                      let totover = GetMins(in1, out1, in2, out2)
                      select t2;

        return overlap;
    }

    public static void TestOverlap()
    {
        var tl1 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 1:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 4:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl2 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 2, Name = "John", In = "1/1/08 5:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 6:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl3 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 3, Name = "Lisa", In = "1/1/08 7:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 9:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl4 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 4, Name = "Joe", In = "1/1/08 3:00pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var tl5 = new TempTimeEntry() { ID = 1, Name = "Bill", In = "1/1/08 8:01pm".ToDate(), Out = "1/1/08 8:00pm".ToDate() };
        var list = new List<TempTimeEntry>() { tl1, tl2, tl3, tl4, tl5 };
        var overlap = GetOverlappedTimes(list, (TempTimeEntry t1)=>t1.ID==1, (TempTimeEntry tIn) => tIn.In, (TempTimeEntry tOut) => tOut.Out);

        Console.WriteLine("\nRecords overlap:");
        foreach (var tl in overlap)
            Console.WriteLine("Name:{0} T1In:{1} T1Out:{2}", tl.Name, tl.In, tl.Out);
        Console.WriteLine("Done");

        /*  Output:

    }

如果您提供一个日期范围作为输入，并希望找出它是否与数据库中的现有日期范围重叠，则以下条件可以成功满足您的需求

假设您从表单输入中提供了@StartDate和@EndDate。

条件是：

如果@StartDate在existingStartDate之前，而在existing EndDate之后，那么我们可以说@StartDate's在现有日期范围的中间，因此我们可以断定它将重叠

@StartDate >=existing.StartDate And @StartDate <= existing.EndDate) 

如果@StartDate在现有StartDate之后，而@EndDate在现有的StartDate之前，我们可以说它将重叠

 (@StartDate <= existing.StartDate And @EndDate >= existing.StartDate)

如果@StartDate晚于现有的StartDate，而@EndDate先于现有的EndDate，我们可以得出结论，所提供的日期范围吞噬了现有的日期范围，因此重叠

 (@StartDate <= existing.StartDate And @EndDate >= existing.EndDate))

如果任何条件成立，则提供的日期范围与数据库中的现有日期范围重叠。

这是一段神奇的代码：

 var isOverlapping =  ((A == null || D == null || A <= D) 
            && (C == null || B == null || C <= B)
            && (A == null || B == null || A <= B)
            && (C == null || D == null || C <= D));

哪里

A->1启动B->1结束C->2启动D->2结束

证据查看此测试控制台代码要点。

由于对于不同的语言和环境有多种答案，这里有一个标准ANSISQL的答案。

在标准SQL中，它非常简单

(StartDate1, EndDate1) overlaps (StartDate2, EndDate2)

假设所有四列都是DATE或TIMESTAMP列。如果两个范围至少有一天相同（假设DATE值），则返回true

（但并非所有DBMS产品都支持此功能）

在PostgreSQL中，使用日期范围也很容易测试是否包含

daterange(StartDate1, EndDate1) @> daterange(StartDate2, EndDate2)

如果第二个范围完全包含在第一个范围中（与“重叠”不同），则上述值返回真

此处发布的解决方案不适用于所有重叠范围。。。

我的工作解决方案是：

AND (
  ('start_date' BETWEEN STARTDATE AND ENDDATE) -- caters for inner and end date outer
  OR
  ('end_date' BETWEEN STARTDATE AND ENDDATE) -- caters for inner and start date outer
  OR
  (STARTDATE BETWEEN 'start_date' AND 'end_date') -- only one needed for outer range where dates are inside.
)
