The simple partition outer join doesn't solve the generic version of your 
problem.

a) On the day you switch back from DST the output should "lose" an hour - 
partition outer join will re-insert it (though with null data)

b) On the day with the switch if you have input values for BOTH occurrences 
of 2 am you're okay, but if it appears only once then partition outer won't 
generate the second row you need, and if 2:00 am doesn't appear at all 
partition outer will only generate one row of the two you need.

In passing - how are you going to get the two versions of 2:00 am in the 
right order on the switch ?

kicks
