    how to find summary value by range

    Hi,

    please help me

    this is my table

    create table sequence (
    id int not null primary key
    );

    insert into sequence(id) values
    (1), (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9),
    (10), (15), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20),(22);

    i need the answer to group the sequence like this


    start_number | end_number | count
    1 | 4 | 4
    6 | 10 | 5
    15 | 20 | 6
    22 | 22 | 1


    what should i do?

    This is homework, isn't it?

    There are multiple alternatives to solve this particular scenario, question is... what is your teacher talking about these days, is it grouping? pivoting? unions? analytics?

    On the top of my mind, easiest way will be to create a secondary table describing each range, join both tables grouping by such ranges described in secondary table.
