sql query help

  • Hi All,

    I have the following requirements. I can do this with cursor, but is it possible to do it without a cursor.

    Table A

    HNum DTG mID filterKey EQuipIndex

    N123 200205291249 6759 ----- ----

    N123 200205291246 ------ 999 754

    N123 200205291246 ------- 999 765

    I am not sure how to do this without cursor, but I want to get all the records that have

    select Hnum, DTG, MId

    from tableA

    where filterKey='----'

    and EqipIndex ='----'

    and mid<> '-----'

    and update the last two rows with the mID of the first row. Basically update the rows whose MID is ---- with the row who has the MID and whose filter key = '----' and EQuipIndex='----' and where the hull num and dtg is equal and filter key is 999

    so

    Update TableA

    set mid =6759

    where hnum= @hnum(hull number of the first row)

    and DTg= @dtg of the first row

    and filterkey = '999'

    insert that first record in some text file

    and then delete that first record from the table that has filterkey = ---- and EQuipIndex = ----

    There are eactly four dashes in equiIndex and filterkey.

    any help will be apprecaited.

    Thanks.

  • Hello Anjali..

    Can you be more specific on your ask? I see some anamolies. The query you provided wont work.

    Here is the set-up. Play with it and give exactly how your data looks like and what expected output u are wanting

    IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#SourceTable') IS NOT NULL

    DROP TABLE #SourceTable

    IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#BlankKeys') IS NOT NULL

    DROP TABLE #BlankKeys

    CREATE TABLE #SourceTable

    (

    HNum VARCHAR(4)

    ,DTG BIGINT

    ,mID VARCHAR(6)

    ,filterKey VARCHAR(6)

    ,EQuipIndex VARCHAR(6)

    )

    INSERT INTO #SourceTable (HNum, DTG, mID, filterKey, EQuipIndex )

    SELECT 'N123' ,200205291249 ,'6759' ,'----' ,'----'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N123' ,200205291246 ,'------' ,'999' ,'754'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N123' ,200205291246 ,'-----' ,'999' ,'765'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291249 ,'5432' ,'----' ,'----'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291246 ,'------' ,'999' ,'754'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291246 ,'-----' ,'999' ,'765'

    Some code to kick start you

    SELECT * FROM #SourceTable

    SELECT InrTab.HNum ,InrTab.DTG , InrTab.mID

    INTO #BlankKeys

    FROM #SourceTable InrTab

    WHERE InrTab.filterKey = '----' AND EQuipIndex = '----'

    SELECT * FROM #BlankKeys

    --UPDATE ST

    --SET ST.mID = BK.mID

    SELECT *

    FROM #SourceTable ST

    INNER JOIN #BlankKeys BK

    ON ST.DTG = BK.DTG

    AND ST.HNum = BK.HNum

    WHERE ST.filterKey = '999'

    SELECT * FROM #SourceTable

    DELETE #SourceTable

    WHERE filterKey = '----' AND EQuipIndex = '----'

    SELECT * FROM #SourceTable

  • What you really need is this result:

    SELECT blank_mid.HNum, blank_mid.DTG, has_mid.mID, blank_mid.filterKey, blank_mid.EQuipIndex

    FROM #TableA blank_mid -- Per each row with blank mid...

    JOIN #TableA has_mid -- ...find a row that has mid.

    ON has_mid.HNum = blank_mid.HNum

    AND has_mid.DTG = blank_mid.DTG

    WHERE blank_mid.mID like '%-%'

    AND has_mid.mID NOT like '%-%'

    AND blank_mid.filterKey = '999'

    But, if you insist to update and delete that table, you can do it like this:

    UPDATE blank_mid SET blank_mid.mID = has_mid.mID

    FROM #TableA blank_mid -- Per each row with blank mid...

    JOIN #TableA has_mid -- ...find a row that has mid.

    ON has_mid.HNum = blank_mid.HNum

    AND has_mid.DTG = blank_mid.DTG

    WHERE blank_mid.mID like '%-%'

    AND has_mid.mID NOT like '%-%'

    AND blank_mid.filterKey = '999'

    DELETE FROM #TableA

    WHERE filterKey like '%-%' AND EQuipIndex like '%-%'

    Kind regards,

    Vedran

  • I created the table this way

    create TABLE TableA

    (

    HNum VARCHAR(4)

    ,DTG BIGINT

    ,mID VARCHAR(6)

    ,filterKey VARCHAR(6)

    ,EQuipIndex VARCHAR(6)

    )

    INSERT INTO TableA (HNum, DTG, mID, filterKey, EQuipIndex )

    SELECT 'N123' ,200205291249 ,'6759' ,'----' ,'----'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N123' ,200205291246 ,'----' ,'999' ,'754'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N123' ,200205291246 ,'----' ,'999' ,'765'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291249 ,'5432' ,'----' ,'----'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291246 ,'----' ,'999' ,'754'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'N456' ,200205291246 ,'----' ,'999' ,'765'

    select * from TableA

    and someohow the below statement is returning 0 rows.

    SELECT blank_mid.HNum, blank_mid.DTG, has_mid.mID, blank_mid.filterKey, blank_mid.EQuipIndex

    FROM #TableA blank_mid -- Per each row with blank mid...

    JOIN #TableA has_mid -- ...find a row that has mid.

    ON has_mid.HNum = blank_mid.HNum

    AND has_mid.DTG = blank_mid.DTG

    WHERE blank_mid.mID like '%-%'

    AND has_mid.mID NOT like '%-%'

  • DTG numbers are wrong.
