从预期输出来看，您似乎希望按description分组，因此可以这样做：

SELECT SHIFT_DATE,
       associate_id ID,
       Name
       description DESC,
       MIN(START_TRAN_DATE),
       MAX(END_TRAN_DATE)
FROM ltu_vt
GROUP BY SHIFT_DATE, ASSOCIATE_ID, DESCRIPTION

请注意，我唯一的信息是你给的信息，所以，如果我误解了问题，提供更多的信息，也许是SQL小提琴以及。

Please try the following solution.
It is a well known "gaps and islands" problem.
