Not really an expert with SQL and im having problems figuring out how to do this one.
Got a table like this one:
ID | Message | TimeStamp | User |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Hello | 2022-08-01 10:00:00 | A |
1 | How are you? | 2022-08-01 10:00:05 | A |
1 | Hello there | 2022-08-01 10:00:10 | B |
1 | I am okay | 2022-08-01 10:00:12 | B |
1 | Good to know | 2022-08-01 10:00:15 | A |
1 | Bye | 2022-08-01 10:00:25 | B |
2 | Hello | 2022-08-01 10:02:50 | A |
2 | Hi | 2022-08-01 10:03:50 | B |
I need to calculate the time difference each time there is a response from the B user after a message from A.
Expected result would be like this
ID | Difference |
---|---|
1 | 5 |
1 | 10 |
2 | 60 |
Trying to use Lead function to obtain the next desired timestamp but im not getting the expected result Any tips or advice?
Thanks
Even if it is already answered - it's a nice use case for Vertica's MATCH() clause. Looking for a pattern consisting of sender = 'A'
followed by sender = 'B'
.
You get a pattern id, and then you can group by other stuff plus the pattern id to get max timestamp and min timestamp.
Also note that I renamed both "user" and "timestamp", as they are reserved words...
-- your input, don't use in final query
indata(ID,Message,ts,Usr) AS (

UNION ALL SELECT 1,'Hello there' ,TIMESTAMP '2022-08-01 10:00:10','B'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,'I am okay' ,TIMESTAMP '2022-08-01 10:00:12','B'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,'Good to know',TIMESTAMP '2022-08-01 10:00:15','A'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,'Bye' ,TIMESTAMP '2022-08-01 10:00:25','B'
