Audit the dates and timezones in this query
Numbers are slightly off and the period boundary is the usual suspect.
Check every date and time expression in this query. Quote each fragment, then tell me which timezone the value is in, whether BETWEEN is dropping the final day, what happens to rows landing exactly on a boundary, and whether the timestamp driving the period is the one I think it is. Query:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Correctness checks. Catching the join that duplicates rows, the NULL that drops them, and the GROUP BY that lies.
