I have 2 sets of data which defines the start and end of date/time periods. I want to be able to obtain the following:

1) The intersect of those 2 sets of date/time ranges i.e. return start/end date/time ranges where both sets overlap

?intersect
?max
?min

2) The union of those 2 sets of date/time ranges i.e. return the start/end date/time ranges which are in 1 or both sets

?union


Is there anything that is currently able to do this? If not, I'll start to code something.

Are you suggesting you have such data and have tried these functions with undesired effects?


Kind regards,
Nathan
