While attempting to produce a view of ticket statuses over time, I've run into a few challenges:
Background:
The database containing ticket records is setup to allow basic re-visioning, and includes the following columns (this is what I believe to be relevant):
ID - original - status - date_created - modified
Desired Solution:
A table which includes: The count of each status grouped by week/month/year.
The challenge:
Excluding any revision in which the status has not changed.
Thanks ahead of time for any assistance, this is heating up my brain :)
Should be something like this (without the grouping by date):
SELECT t1.*
FROM table as t1
JOIN table as t2 ON (t1.original = t2.ID)
WHERE t1.status != t2.status;
