在Microsoft SQL SERVER中-SQL函数

CREATE FUNCTION IsOverlapDates 
(
    @startDate1 as datetime,
    @endDate1 as datetime,
    @startDate2 as datetime,
    @endDate2 as datetime
)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @Overlap = (SELECT CASE WHEN  (
        (@startDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and end date outer
        OR
        (@endDate1 BETWEEN @startDate2 AND @endDate2) -- caters for inner and start date outer
        OR
        (@startDate2 BETWEEN @startDate1 AND @endDate1) -- only one needed for outer range where dates are inside.
        ) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
    )
    RETURN @Overlap

END
GO

--Execution of the above code
DECLARE @startDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate1 as datetime
DECLARE @startDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @endDate2 as datetime
DECLARE @Overlap as int
SET @startDate1 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate1 =   '2014-06-01 02:00:00'
SET @startDate2 = '2014-06-01 01:00:00' 
SET @endDate2 =   '2014-06-01 01:30:00'

SET @Overlap = [dbo].[IsOverlapDates]  (@startDate1, @endDate1, @startDate2, @endDate2)

SELECT Overlap = @Overlap

我认为最简单的方法是比较EndDate1是否在StartDate2之前，EndDate2是否在StartDate 1之前。

当然，如果您正在考虑StartDate总是在EndDate之前的时间间隔。

（起点A<=终点B）和（终点A>=起点B）

证明：让条件A表示日期范围A完全在日期范围B之后

_                        |---- DateRange A ------|
|---Date Range B -----|                          _

（如果StartA>EndB，则为True）

让条件B表示日期范围A完全在日期范围B之前

|---- DateRange A -----|                        _ 
_                          |---Date Range B ----|

（如果EndA<StartB，则为True）

如果A和B都不为真，则存在重叠-（如果一个范围既不完全在另一个范围之后，也不完全在另一个之前，则它们必须重叠。）

现在，德摩根的一项法律规定：

不是（A或B）<=>不是A也不是B

转换为：（StartA<=EndB）和（EndA>=StartB）

注意：这包括边缘完全重叠的情况。如果你想排除这一点，将>=运算符更改为>，并将<=更改为<

注2.多亏了@宝爸，看看这个博客，实际的重叠最少：｛endA startA，endA-startB，endB startA，end B-startB｝

（起点A<=终点B）和（终点A>=起点B）（开始A<=结束B）和（开始B<=结束A）

注3.多亏了@tomosius，一个简短的版本写道：DateRangesOverlap=最大值（start1，start2）<最小值（end1，end2）这实际上是一个较长实现的语法快捷方式，它包括额外的检查，以验证开始日期是否在结束日期之前。从上面得出：

如果开始日期和结束日期可能是无序的，即，如果startA>endA或startB>endB是可能的，那么您还必须检查它们是否有序，这意味着您必须添加两个额外的有效性规则：（StartA<=EndB）和（StartB<=EndA）以及或：（开始A<=结束B）和（开始A<=结束A）以及（开始B<=结束A”和（开始B<=结束B”）或（开始A<=最小值（结束A，结束B）和（开始B<=最小（结束A、结束B））或：（最大值（开始A，开始B）<=最小值（结束A，结束B）

但要实现Min（）和Max（），必须编写代码（使用C三进制表示简洁）：（（开始A>开始B）？开始A：开始B）<=（（结束A<结束B）？端A：端B）

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:
            Records overlap:
            Name:Joe T1In:1/1/2008 3:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 8:00:00 PM
            Name:Lisa T1In:1/1/2008 7:00:00 PM T1Out:1/1/2008 9:00:00 PM
            Done
         */
    }

对于ruby，我也发现了这一点：

class Interval < ActiveRecord::Base

  validates_presence_of :start_date, :end_date

  # Check if a given interval overlaps this interval    
  def overlaps?(other)
    (start_date - other.end_date) * (other.start_date - end_date) >= 0
  end

  # Return a scope for all interval overlapping the given interval, including the given interval itself
  named_scope :overlapping, lambda { |interval| {
    :conditions => ["id <> ? AND (DATEDIFF(start_date, ?) * DATEDIFF(?, end_date)) >= 0", interval.id, interval.end_date, interval.start_date]
  }}

end

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.
)
