<p>Can you please let me know the SQL to split date ranges when they overlap?</p>

<p>Data (sample data with a date range and possibly other columns):</p>

<pre><code>    Col1 FromDate ToDate
 1. 1    1/1/2008 31/12/2010
 2. 1    1/1/2009 31/12/2012
 3. 1    1/1/2009 31/12/2014
</code></pre>

<p>Output:</p>

<pre><code>   Col1  From Date ToDate
1. 1     1/1/2008 31/12/2008 (from row 1 above)
2. 1     1/1/2009 31/12/2010 (from rows 1,2 and 3 above)
3. 1     1/1/2011 31/12/2012 (from rows 2 and 3 above)
4. 1     1/1/2013 31/12/2014 (from row 3 above)
</code></pre>

This should do the trick (MySQL dialect, but easily adaptable)
Initial setup
```
```
SQL query: SELECT * FROM `test` LIMIT 0, 30 ;
Rows: 3
start       end
2008-01-01  2010-12-31
2009-01-01  2012-12-31
2009-01-01  2014-12-31
```
```
Query
```
```
SELECT 
  `start` , min( `end` )
FROM (
  SELECT t1.start, t2.end
  FROM test t1, test t2
  WHERE t1.start < t2.end
  UNION
  SELECT t1.end + INTERVAL 1 DAY , t2.end
  FROM test t1, test t2
  WHERE t1.end + INTERVAL 1 DAY < t2.end
  UNION
  SELECT t1.start, t2.start - INTERVAL 1 DAY
  FROM test t1, test t2
  WHERE t1.start < t2.start - INTERVAL 1 DAY
) allRanges
GROUP BY `start`
```
```
Result
```
```
start       min( `end` )
2008-01-01  2008-12-31
2009-01-01  2010-12-31
2011-01-01  2012-12-31
2013-01-01  2014-12-31
```
```
