Og så forespørgslen:
SQL> select site_id
2 , min(start_date) contiguous_start_date
3 , max(end_date) contiguous_end_date
4 , count(*) number_of_contiguous_records
5 from ( select site_id
6 , start_date
7 , end_date
8 , max(rn) over (partition by site_id order by start_date) maxrn
9 from ( select site_id
10 , start_date
11 , end_date
12 , case lag(end_date) over (partition by site_id order by start_date)
13 when start_date then null
