Re: Counting # of consecutive rows with specified value(s)?
Thank you both for the suggestions. I started playing with the window functions, but found and copied an "islands and gaps" example that didn't need them, and was simpler than I thought. This query seems to do the trick:
SELECT
client_id,
count(*)
FROM
(SELECT
client_id,
attendance_code
FROM recovery_circle_attendance rca
WHERE attended_on >
(SELECT max(attended_on)
FROM recovery_circle_attendance
WHERE client_id=rca.client_id AND attendance_code != 'ABSENT')
) foo
GROUP BY client_id;
It's a fairly small dataset, so at least right now I'm not too worried about performance, but am curious if this is a reasonably well-optimized way to get this info, or if there are any glaring issues or room for improvement in this regard?
Cheers,
Ken

(e.g., attendance_code IN ('ATTENDED','EXCUSED')Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.This is similar to the islands and gaps problem. Search for that on StackOverflow and you'll get it.Bye!François
