Question

I have a table1(startnumber, endnumber) in oracle;

Now I need to select all the numbers lies in between startnumber and endnumber from table1

data eg.

    table1
   startnumber      endnumber
     10                15
    18                 22
    34                 50

Now I need the result set as:

10,11,12,13,14,15,18,19,20,21,22,34,35..... and so on

How do i do that

Answer 1

if you wanted the values comma separated you could do as such (or if on 11gr2 use listAgg)

WITH NUMS AS(
     SELECT 10 STARTNR  , 15 ENDNR  FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 18 STARTNR  , 22 ENDNR  FROM DUAL UNION
    SELECT 34 STARTNR  , 50 ENDNR  FROM DUAL )       , 
 NUMSBETWEEN AS(
     SELECT distinct (level + startnr)-1 seq , startnr, endnr
       FROM NUMS
      CONNECT BY (LEVEL +STARTNR ) <= ENDNR+1
      )
SELECT startnr,
       LTRIM(MAX(SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(seq,','))
       KEEP (DENSE_RANK LAST ORDER BY curr),',') AS seq
FROM   (SELECT startnr,
               seq,
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY startnr ORDER BY seq) AS curr,
               ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY startnr ORDER BY seq) -1 AS prev
        FROM   numsBetween)
GROUP BY startnr
CONNECT BY prev = PRIOR curr AND startnr = PRIOR startnr
START WITH CURR = 1;

STARTNR SEQ
