Can window function LAG reference the column which value is being calculated?
Naive recursive chain knitter:
-- temp view to avoid nested CTE
CREATE TEMP VIEW drag AS
SELECT e.type,e.time_stamp
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER www as rn -- number the records
, FIRST_VALUE(e.time_stamp) OVER www as fst -- the "group leader"
, EXISTS (SELECT * FROM event x
WHERE x.type = e.type
AND x.time_stamp < e.time_stamp) AS is_dup
FROM event e
WINDOW www AS (PARTITION BY type ORDER BY time_stamp)
;
WITH RECURSIVE ttt AS (
SELECT d0.*
FROM drag d0 WHERE d0.is_dup = False -- only the "group leaders"
UNION ALL
SELECT d1.type, d1.time_stamp, d1.rn
, CASE WHEN d1.time_stamp - ttt.fst > 20 THEN d1.time_stamp
ELSE ttt.fst END AS fst -- new "group leader"
, CASE WHEN d1.time_stamp - ttt.fst > 20 THEN False
ELSE True END AS is_dup
FROM drag d1
JOIN ttt ON d1.type = ttt.type AND d1.rn = ttt.rn+1
)
SELECT * FROM ttt
ORDER BY type, time_stamp
;
Results:
CREATE TABLE
INSERT 0 10
CREATE VIEW
type | time_stamp | rn | fst | is_dup
