Only relatively. My standard solution is something like this:
select start_time, reason, sum(km) as km from (select max(label_time) over (order by start) as start_time,
reason,km from (select start, reason, km, case when reason
isdistinct from lag(reason) over (order by start) then start
end as label_time from yourtable ) s2 ) s1group by start_time,
reasonorderby start_time;
(Your change_number idea is essentially equivalent to doing
sum(case when x is distinct from lag(x) over w then 1 end) over w,
except that since window functions can't be nested, that expression
requires a subquery.)
