在SQL Server 2008中实施唯一的日期范围字段

Question

首先，请查看这个非常类似的问题：Unique date range fields in SQL Server 2008

关于上述问题的答案（David Hall）是我需要的一小部分的90％，请采用以下示例：

--#### Create example table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbl_Example](
    [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [StockCode] [varchar](20) NOT NULL,
    [ValidFrom] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [ValidUntil] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [Type] [char](1) NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_tbl_Example] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [ID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

--#### Add the trigger (based on David Halls answer - I allow duplicate date ranges as long as the StockCode or Type differ)
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[DateRangeTrigger] ON [dbo].[tbl_Example]
    FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
    BEGIN
        IF EXISTS ( SELECT  t.ValidFrom ,
                            t.ValidUntil
                    FROM    tbl_Example t
                            JOIN inserted i ON ( i.StockCode = t.StockCode
                                                 AND i.Type = t.Type
                                                 AND i.ValidFrom > t.ValidFrom
                                                 AND i.ValidFrom < t.ValidUntil
                                                 AND i.id <> t.id
                                               )
                                               OR ( i.StockCode = t.StockCode
                                                    AND i.Type = t.Type
                                                    AND i.ValidUntil < t.ValidUntil
                                                    AND i.ValidUntil > t.ValidFrom
                                                    AND i.id <> t.id
                                                  )
                                               OR ( i.StockCode = t.StockCode
                                                    AND i.Type = t.Type
                                                    AND i.ValidFrom < t.ValidFrom
                                                    AND i.ValidUntil > t.ValidUntil
                                                    AND i.id <> t.id
                                                  ) ) 
            BEGIN
                RAISERROR ('Date range cant overlap existing date ranges for given StockCode and Type', 16, 1)
                IF ( @@TRANCOUNT > 0 ) 
                    ROLLBACK
            END
    END
GO

--#### Problem: its allowing duplicate date ranges where Start and End Dates are 100% equal
INSERT [dbo].[tbl_Example] ([StockCode], [ValidFrom], [ValidUntil], [Type]) VALUES (N'Test', CAST(0x0000A13900000000 AS DateTime), CAST(0x0000A13B00000000 AS DateTime), N'O')
INSERT [dbo].[tbl_Example] ([StockCode], [ValidFrom], [ValidUntil], [Type]) VALUES (N'Test', CAST(0x0000A13900000000 AS DateTime), CAST(0x0000A13B00000000 AS DateTime), N'O')

你会注意到，如果[ValidFrom]或[ValidUntil] 相等，我可以使用Dave的触发器插入重叠日期。

没有向触发器添加更多OR子句以考虑匹配的开始或匹配的结尾或两者 - 调整触发器以防止此最后一个子句的最简单方法是什么？

为了澄清，我试图阻止的重叠如下：

我认为这种情况更合适：

IF EXISTS ( SELECT  * --No need to choose columns in an EXISTS
        FROM    tbl_Example t1
         inner join
                tbl_Example t2
                  on
                     t1.StockCode = t2.StockCode and
                     t1.Type = t2.Type and
                     t1.ValidFrom < t2.ValidTo and
                     t2.ValidFrom < t1.ValidTo and
                     t1.ID <> t2.ID
        where
            t1.ID in (select ID from inserted))
BEGIN
     RAISERROR ('Date range cant overlap existing date ranges for given StockCode and Type', 16, 1)
     ROLLBACK --We're in a trigger, we *must* be in a transaction
END

它使用更简单的条件来检测重叠 - 如果两行在另一行结束之前开始，则存在重叠。
