Select amount of hours per month where start and end date spans across different years

My situation:

I have the following view to retrieve data from:

|ID |      START_DATE      |        END_DATE      |
|80 | 09-JAN-2013 15:01:52 | 20-SEP-2014 15:01:52 |  
|82 | 09-SEP-2014 15:01:52 | 25-SEP-2014 15:01:52 |

What I want is something like this:

|TOTAL_TIME_IN_HOURS| MONTH| YEAR |
| 200               |   01 | 2013 |
| 250               |   02 | 2013 |
| etc.....          | etc. | etc..|
| 150               |   09 | 2014 |

Some additional information: I can only use select statements, but I am able to create views beforehand. It's an Oracle DB, so I'm not able to use MYSQL functions like DATEDIFF etc.

I have done the following:

SELECT 
ID, 
SUM(END_TIME - START_TIME) * 24 AS TOTAL_TIME_IN_HOURS, 
FROM TABLE_X
WHERE TO_CHAR(START_TIME, 'MM') IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) AND TO_CHAR(START_TIME, 'YYYY') BETWEEN 1965 AND 2050 AND 
TO_CHAR(END_TIME, 'MM') IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) AND TO_CHAR(END_TIME, 'YYYY') BETWEEN 1965 AND 2050
GROUP BY PROC_ID, TO_CHAR(START_TIME, 'YYYY'), TO_CHAR(START_TIME, 'MM') ORDER BY ID;

This returns the following:

|ID| TOTAL_TIME_IN_HOURS |
|80|    5000             | 
|82|    300              |

(I used fictitious results, because the question isn't about the factual results)

This logic is ok as far as I only need the total amount of hours between start and end date.. However what I need is the total amount of hours per month between start and end date.

I thought of adding additional columns to my views, like start_month, end_month, start_year and end_year. However I ran into new problems with these options, like leap years...

My question is: Is it possible to reach the result I want? If so what kind of logic should I use to reach this result? (Preferably a dynamic query, so I don't have to enter hundreds of lines of code)

A much quicker one with hierarchy query:

with w as
(
  select distinct id,
         greatest(start_date, trunc(add_months(start_date, level - 1), 'MON')) lim_low,
         least(trunc(add_months(start_date, level), 'MON'), end_date) lim_high
  from test t
  connect by add_months(start_date, level - 1) <= end_date
  order by 3, 1
)
select id, lim_low, (lim_high - lim_low) * 24 nb_hours
from w;

Another recursive solution, which will require at least Oracle 11gR2:

with t(id, start_date, end_date) as
  (select 80, to_date('09/01/2013 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), to_date('20/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual
   union all
   select 82, to_date('09/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), to_date('25/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual
  )
, t_recur(id, start_date, end_date, month_start_date, month_end_date) as
  (select id
        , start_date
        , end_date
        , start_date
        , least(add_months(trunc(start_date, 'MM'), 1), end_date)
   from t
   union all
   select id
        , start_date
        , end_date
        , trunc(add_months(month_start_date, 1), 'MM')
        , least(add_months(trunc(month_start_date, 'MM'), 2), end_date)
   from t_recur
   where trunc(add_months(month_start_date, 1), 'MM') < end_date
  )
select id
     , extract(year from month_start_date) year
     , extract(month from month_start_date) month
     , (month_end_date - month_start_date) * 24 hours
from t_recur
order by id
       , year
       , month

Try this:

with t(ID, START_DATE, END_DATE) as (
  select 80, to_date('09/01/2013 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), to_date('20/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual union all
  select 82, to_date('09/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), to_date('25/09/2014 15:01:52', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual
), t_mon(id, start_date, end_date, lvl, year, month) as (
   select id
        , start_date
        , least(trunc(add_months(start_date, 1), 'MONTH'), end_date)
        , 1
        , extract(year from start_date)
        , extract(month from start_date)
     from t
   union all
   select t.id
        , greatest(trunc(add_months(t.start_date, lvl), 'MONTH'), t.start_date)
        , least(trunc(add_months(t.start_date, lvl+1), 'MONTH'), t.end_date)
        , lvl + 1
        , extract(year from greatest(trunc(add_months(t.start_date, lvl), 'MONTH'), t.start_date))
        , extract(month from greatest(trunc(add_months(t.start_date, lvl), 'MONTH'), t.start_date))
     from t, t_mon
    where trunc(add_months(t.start_date, t_mon.lvl), 'MONTH') < t.end_date
), t_corr(id, start_date, end_date, year, month) as (
  select unique id, start_date, end_date, year, month
    from t_mon
)
select id, year, month, sum(end_date - start_date) * 24 hours
  from t_corr
 group by id, year, month
 order by id, year, month

       ID       YEAR      MONTH      HOURS
