    <p>I have a set of time intervals called <code>setTimes</code> like so:</p> <pre><code>[a,d] [h,j] [k,l] </code></pre> <p>And another set of times <code>rawTimes</code> like so:</p> <pre><code>[a,c] [b,e] [e,g] [f,i] [k,l] [i,m] </code></pre> <p><code>rawTimes</code> needs to be transformed into new intervals that are in the intervals specified by <code>setTimes</code>. So the result set is:</p> <pre><code>[a,c] [b,d] [h,i] [k,l] [i,j] [k,l] </code></pre> <p>(where a &lt; b &lt; c ... &lt; m)</p> <p>Basically the result set should all be contained inside of an interval in the <code>setTimes</code> set. It is possible that an interval in <code>rawTimes</code> could be split into multiple pieces or that it even never makes it to the final set. </p> <p>Currently what I did is add each start time in the <code>setTimes</code> intervals to a list called <code>startTimes</code> and the end time to <code>endTimes</code>. So:</p> <pre><code>startTimes = a , h , k endTimes = d , j , l </code></pre> <p>But I'm stuck there. I'm not sure where to go from there.</p>

    1. COCan you assume set times is in order and not overlapping?

    2. CO`setTimes` won't be added in order, but can be sorted. But I cannot assume no overlapping. Same with `rawTimes`

    3. COCan you clarify how `[i,m]` is handled, particularly how a result of `[k,m]` is produced when your `setTimes` contains, at its maximum range, `[k,l]`? (perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the requirements)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
