Hi,
I have a table , which maintains the daily_status, this table has an entry for each date, stating whether its a holidays or normal working day.

If a Asset breaksdown , the start date and end date for it , is maintained in different table.

Now the question is , to calculate the breakdowntime (or the time taken to clear the breakdown),we have to leave out the holidays,sundays(maintained in daily_status) to calculate the actual breakdowntime.

can someone suggest a good design for this or how to go abt calculating the breakdowntime to show it in the reports.

Thanx in advance..

1. Find the range of the breakdown (datediff).
2. Do a count of days in the daily_status table between range of breakdown where days <> 'normal working day'.
3. Add the two numbers together.

Is that what you are looking for? You shouldn't need to do any design for this. Just build your query accordingly.
