SQL to determine minimum sequential days of access?

Question

The following User History table contains one record for every day a given user has accessed a website (in a 24 hour UTC period). It has many thousands of r

Answer 1

A couple of SQL Server 2012 options (assuming N=100 below).

;WITH T(UserID, NRowsPrevious)
     AS (SELECT UserID,
                DATEDIFF(DAY, 
                        LAG(CreationDate, 100) 
                            OVER 
                                (PARTITION BY UserID 
                                     ORDER BY CreationDate), 
                         CreationDate)
         FROM   UserHistory)
SELECT DISTINCT UserID
FROM   T
WHERE  NRowsPrevious = 100 

Though with my sample data the following worked out more efficient

;WITH U
         AS (SELECT DISTINCT UserId
             FROM   UserHistory) /*Ideally replace with Users table*/
    SELECT UserId
    FROM   U
           CROSS APPLY (SELECT TOP 1 *
                        FROM   (SELECT 
                                       DATEDIFF(DAY, 
                                                LAG(CreationDate, 100) 
                                                  OVER 
                                                   (ORDER BY CreationDate), 
                                                 CreationDate)
                                FROM   UserHistory UH
                                WHERE  U.UserId = UH.UserID) T(NRowsPrevious)
                        WHERE  NRowsPrevious = 100) O

Both rely on the constraint stated in the question that there is at most one record per day per user.
