Finding Start Time of Actions in Oracle Using LAG and MIN Functions
Finding the Start Time of Each Set of Actions Problem Description The problem involves finding the start time of each set of actions based on a given table. The table contains columns for NO, ACTION_DT, REQUEST_TYPE, and STATUS_CD. We need to create a new column, REQUEST_START_DT, that indicates the first value for request_start_date after a status code of “approved” or “denied”. Solution Overview To solve this problem, we will use Oracle’s analytical functions, specifically the LAG function, along with the COUNT analytic function.
