count number of rows that occur for each date in column date range

问题

I have a table with data such as below

Group       Start Date        End Date
A        01/01/01       01/03/01
A       01/01/01        01/02/01
A       01/03/01        01/04/01
B       01/01/01        01/01/01
ETC

I am looking to produce a view that gives a count for each day, like this

Group       Date        Count
A       01/01/01            2
A       01/02/01            2
A       01/03/01            2
A       01/04/01         1
B       01/01/01            1

I am using Oracle 9 and am at a total loss on what how to handle this and am looking for any idea to get me started.
Note: Generating a table to hold the dates is not practical because I final product has to break down to the minute.

Typically I solve this kind of problem with a numbers table:

WITH Dates AS (
    SELECT DateAdd(d, Numbers.Number - 1, '1/1/2001') AS Date
    FROM Numbers
    WHERE Numbers.Number BETWEEN 1 AND 100000 -- Arbitrary date range
)
SELECT GroupData.Group, Dates.Date, COUNT(*)
FROM Dates
LEFT JOIN GroupData
    ON Dates.Date BETWEEN GroupData.StartDate AND GroupData.EndDate
GROUP BY GroupData.Group, Dates.Date
ORDER BY GroupData.Group, Dates.Date

WITH    q AS
        (
        SELECT  (
                SELECT  MIN(start_date)
                FROM    mytable
                ) + level - 1 AS mydate
        FROM    dual
        CONNECT BY
                level <= (
                SELECT  MAX(end_date) - MIN(start_date)
                FROM    mytable
                )
        )
SELECT  group, mydate,
        (
        SELECT  COUNT(*)
        FROM    mytable mi
        WHERE   mi.group = mo.group
                AND q BETWEEN mi.start_date AND mi.end_date
        ) 
FROM    q
CROSS JOIN
        (
        SELECT  DISTINCT group
        FROM    mytable
        ) mo

Update:

A better and faster query making use of analytic functions.

The main idea is that the number of ranges containing each date is the difference before the count of ranges started before that date and the count of ranges that ended before it.

SELECT  cur_date,
        grouper,
        SUM(COALESCE(scnt, 0) - COALESCE(ecnt, 0)) OVER (PARTITION BY grouper ORDER BY cur_date) AS ranges
FROM    (
        SELECT  (
                SELECT  MIN(start_date)
                FROM    t_range
                ) + level - 1 AS cur_date
        FROM    dual
        CONNECT BY
                level <=
                (
                SELECT  MAX(end_date)
                FROM    t_range
                ) -
                (
                SELECT  MIN(start_date)
                FROM    t_range
                ) + 1
        ) dates
CROSS JOIN
        (
        SELECT  DISTINCT grouper AS grouper
        FROM    t_range
        ) groups
LEFT JOIN
        (
        SELECT  grouper AS sgrp, start_date, COUNT(*) AS scnt
        FROM    t_range
        GROUP BY
                grouper, start_date
        ) starts
ON      sgrp = grouper
        AND start_date = cur_date
LEFT JOIN
        (
        SELECT  grouper AS egrp, end_date, COUNT(*) AS ecnt
        FROM    t_range
        GROUP BY
                grouper, end_date
        ) ends
ON      egrp = grouper
        AND end_date = cur_date - 1
ORDER BY
        grouper, cur_date

This query completes in 1 second on 1,000,000 rows.

You could use the method described in these SO:

How to iterate over a date range in PL/SQL
Working with date ranges in PHP/Oracle

Basically: join with a generated calendar and GROUP BY your subset of columns.

SQL> WITH DATA AS (
  2  SELECT 'A' grp, to_date('01/01/01') start_date, to_date('01/03/01') end_date FROM DUAL
  3  UNION ALL SELECT 'A', to_date('01/01/01'), to_date('01/02/01') FROM DUAL
  4  UNION ALL SELECT 'A', to_date('01/03/01'), to_date('01/04/01') FROM DUAL
  5  UNION ALL SELECT 'B', to_date('01/01/01'), to_date('01/01/01') FROM DUAL
  6  ), calendar AS (
  7  SELECT to_date('01/01/01') + ROWNUM - 1 d
  8    FROM dual
  9    CONNECT BY LEVEL <= to_date('01/04/01') - to_date('01/01/01') + 1
 10  )
 11  SELECT data.grp, calendar.d, COUNT(*) cnt
 12    FROM data
 13    JOIN calendar ON calendar.d BETWEEN data.start_date AND data.end_date
 14   GROUP BY data.grp, calendar.d;

GRP D                  CNT
--- ----------- ----------
A   04/01/2001           1
A   02/01/2001           2
B   01/01/2001           1
A   03/01/2001           2
A   01/01/2001           2
