Necesito una SOLA consulta que haga esta secuencia en oracle.

select count(*) from table1
where request_time < timestamp'2012-05-19 12:00:00' and (end_time > timestamp'2012-05-19 12:00:00' or end_time=null);

select count(*) from table1
where request_time < timestamp'2012-05-19 13:00:00' and (end_time > timestamp'2012-05-19 13:00:00' or end_time=null);

select count(*) from table1
where request_time < timestamp'2012-05-19 14:00:00' and (end_time > timestamp'2012-05-19 14:00:00' or end_time=null);

select count(*) table1
where request_time < timestamp'2012-05-19 15:00:00' and (end_time > timestamp'2012-05-19 15:00:00' or end_time=null);

select count(*) from table1
where request_time < timestamp'2012-05-19 16:00:00' and (end_time > timestamp'2012-05-19 16:00:00' or end_time=null);

Como ves la hora va aumentando una por una. aquí está la salida

COUNT(*)               
1085                   

COUNT(*)               
1233                   

COUNT(*)               
1407                   

COUNT(*)               
1322                   

COUNT(*)               
1237

¡He escrito una consulta pero no me da la respuesta correcta!

select col1, count(*) from
(select TO_CHAR(request_time, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24') as col1 from table1
 where request_time <= timestamp'2012-05-19 12:00:00' and (end_time >= timestamp'2012-05-19 12:00:00' or end_time=null))
group by col1 order by col1;

¡esta consulta me da un conjunto de resultados que la suma de su cuenta (*) es igual a la primera consulta escrita arriba! Aquí está el resultado:

COL1          COUNT(*)               
------------- ----------------------
