I have a requirement in redshift where I need to combine result if the data are continuous. I have the following table, where user_id, product_id are varchar and login_time, log_out_time are timestamp.
user_id product_id login_time log_out_time

I need to combine the result if the data are continuous for a given user_id for each product. So my output should looks like,
user_id product_id login_time log_out_time

I tried with the following query but it doesn't helped me,
SELECT user_id, product_id, MIN(login_time), MAX(log_out_time) FROM TABLE_NAME GROUP BY user_id, product_id
Above query fails to give my required output since it doesn't have the logic to check the data are in continuous time. I need to have a query for this without using any custom function, but I am allowed to use any redshift in-built function.
