I would create a room history table that contained three fields: room number, status, date stamp. Each time the status of a room changes insert a new record into the table with the current status and date/ time.

Take care,
Floyd

Dear list,
e-Greetings!

I'm faced with an interesting and challenging problem.

Consider a database, designed for a hotel.
At any given time, each room has a different status: It's Busy or Reserved,
or Free.

It's easy to retrieve number of Free rooms at the current time.
But how can I count the number of rooms that were busy during the last week
?

I would appreciate if you take a brief moment of your time and share your
opinion.

Thank you in advance,
-b
