Finding Empty Hours For A Specified Classroom ( Database Design Issue )
I am trying to design a database for creating a school syllabus. In a nutshell, all classrooms can be active for 10 hours from 8.00am to 18.00 pm. How to create the database to answer the below ?开发者_如何转开发
Get me empty hours for the classroom which is A101 on Monday ?
I made this one below but its not enough good to answer this question efficiently |: http://i51.tinypic.com/110drgk.png
I only dabble in database, but the problem seemed interesting to me.
From what I'm getting, it sounds like you are more interested in how to write the query than how to store the data. Based on your explanation, what you want is a query whose output looks something like this:
classroom openStart openEnd day session
A101 9:00 10:00 mo spring
A101 14:00 16:00 mo spring
Assuming schema test, table class. Class holds a startTime and endTime value. Other values on which filtering will be performed are ignored here to focus on just the logic you are interested in. This query was run on MySQL.
-- 8 and 18 are added as the boundaries for the day.
Select * from (Select * from ((select endTime as a from test.class) union (select 8)) as t1
join ((select startTime as b from test.class) union (select 18 as startTime)) as t2
where a <= b group by a order by a, b) as t3 where a != b;
Three subqueries.
The first creates a cross-product of all end times (with the start time for the day appended) by all start times (with the end time for the day appended in). What this gives you is a series of rows representing every conceivable open block of time. (arranged as block start/ block end)
The second then pares the results of the first subquery by filtering out values where block start happens after block end, then sorts the values by block start, block end. This makes it so that when the values are grouped by block-start, you get a nice list of pairs that make it easy to spot places where classes are continuous.
The third query then filters out the values where the times are the same, giving you just the time blocks that are relevant. Hypothetically the third query could use a comparison that ruled out cases where classes were less than an hour apart as well.
I'm sure others might have somewhat simpler solutions for you.
You don't even have classroom in your database diagram.
If one of your main concerns is read premoance time I would suggest something along the lines of the following:
A timeSlot table that has column for the blocks of time in a day (since this can be broken down into a relatively small finite number, say one per 30 minutes). A classroom table would then have 5 or 7 IDs referring to 5 or 7 entries in the timeSlot table
Hope this helps,

DBMS's that support generic interval types make this dead easy :
Define a relvar with the attributes and .
Then just query 'X NOT MATCHING Y', where :
X is a relation literal mentioning the appropriate classroom identifier and the time interval 08.00-18.00,
Y is your relvar holding the <scheduled_during>,
(and NOT MATCHING is whatever keyword you need to invoke the relational algebra's SEMIMINUS operator).
In SIRA_PRISE, for example, you could have a relvar named, e.g., SCH, holding, e.g., the "scheduled_during" tuple {classRoomID:"A101" scheduledDuring:[1999-01-02-09.30.00-1999-01-02-12.00.00]}.
A relation literal could be "RELATION{TUPLE{classRoomID:"A101" scheduledDuring:[1999-01-02-08.00.00-1999-01-02-18.00.00]}}".
And querying SEMIMINUS(RELATION{TUPLE{...}},SCH) would then yield the tuples
classRoomID:"A101" scheduledDuring:[1999-01-02-08.00.00-1999-01-02-09.30.00] and classRoomID:"A101" scheduledDuring:[1999-01-02-12.00.00-1999-01-02-18.00.00]
EDIT
PS don't be confused by that attribute name scheduledDuring showing periods during which the room is NOT scheduled. The meaning of the values is in the "external predicate" of your queries, not in the attribute names.
Your solution is a basic reservation system. In a reservation system the resources are defined with an availability period. If the business rule was the resource was used in single hour increments I would design the resource table with 24 periods to represent each hour of the day. If the business rule stated the resource was available during 8AM to 10AM I would place a "True value" in the period columns representing that time frame. Reservations are tracked in a seperate table with a foreign key back to the resource. The reservation table has matching period columns from the resource table. When a reservation is made during a period the resource is available a "True value" is placed in the column. Resources available for reservation are found by
- Aggregating the reservation values for each period for the day
- Build a list of available resources
- Display the resources which do not have a reservation.
In the calculation for step three we can rule out any resource who's period availability is "False" then we look at the aggregate value from the reservations table and state if there is a reservation("True") then the availability is "False".
The code below is written in SQL Server 2008 and demonstrates the principals above.
