Query To Display Most Active Records

Hello,

I have two tables, Promotion and Promolocation. The Promotion table is used to set up promotions or sales, and consists of a PromoID, StartDate, and EndDate. Each PromoID is referenced in the Promolocation table, which is used to assign items to a promotion for various locations or stores. The Promolocation table consists of PromoID, LocID, SkuID, PromoPrice, and DiscLevel.

There are times where an item or SkuID will exist in more than one promotion, however, our application is currently not intelligent enough to determine which promotion to use, so it sets the active promotion based on the StartDate being before other promotions' StartDate and the EndDate being after other promotions' EndDate.

I want to find all promoid's where a sku exists in more than one promotion. I want to signify which promotion is active, using 1 as the first active promotion, 2 as the next active, 3 as the next, etc. To determine which promotion is the first active promotion, the StartDate must be before any of the other promotions' StartDate, and the EndDate must be after other promotions' EndDate. If the promotions' StartDate is after the other promotions' StartDate but not before the other promotions' EndDate, and the EndDate is before or on other promotions' EndDate, then that's the second active promotion. If the StartDate is the same as other promotions' StartDate, but the EndDate is before other promotions' EndDate, then that's the third active promotion.

For example:

PromoID StartDate EndDate
------- --------- -------
PROMO1 1/1/2004 1/1/2006 (1st Active Promotion)
PROMO2 2/1/2004 1/1/2006 (2nd Active Promotion)
PROMO3 1/1/2004 12/1/2005 (3rd Active Promotion)

Here's a query I am using to display all active promotions:

select
pl.promoid,
pr.startdate,
pr.enddate,
pl.locid,
pl.skuid,
pl.promoprice,
pl.disclevel
from
promolocation pl
inner join
promotion pr
on
pl.promoid = pr.promoid
where
pr.enddate >= getdate()

Thanks for your help.
