I have a table like:
run | seq | start | done

This is a log of some operations done on some runs. 'seq' is the step
within the run.
I need to produce a new table that coalesces immediately successive
operations on a run into one, e.g.:
run | start | done
1415| 2001-01-29 12:36:55| 2001-02-07 13:02:38
1415| 2001-02-14 07:40:04|
1747| 2001-02-15 09:14:39| 2001-03-01 09:02:39
1747| 2001-03-05 13:13:58|
1954| 2001-02-02 20:55:39| 2001-03-02 10:17:15
i.e. where a run has one or more steps with succesive seq values,
or equivalently, with abutting start/end values, then I want
the new table to have only one entry representing the full span of
time. Null 'done' just means it's not done yet.
Unfortunately, the start time of a 'succesive' op is sometimes 1 second
later that the 'done' time of the previous one, so maybe using
the seq field is simpler.
Can anyone think of a way I can do this in postgres?
