Update on on join where maximum date value

  • Hi,

    I have an 'items' table that I need to update where and the Date_Effective is the MAX value for matching

    Location, ProdCode and Customer column values from the 'Staging1' table. Any columns can be updated other than the Location, ProdCode and Customer columns. (All dates are YMD format)

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Items_TEST](

    [Id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

    [Location] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [ProdCode] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [Item] [nvarchar](6) NULL,

    [Customer] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL,

    [Date_Effective] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,

    [Source] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [User] [nvarchar](50) NULL,

    [Date_Exported] [smalldatetime] NULL,

    [Time_Exported] [nvarchar](8) NULL,

    [Add1] [numeric](7, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Items_TEST_Add1] DEFAULT ((0.00)),

    [Add2] [numeric](7, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Items_TEST_Add2] DEFAULT ((0.00)),

    CONSTRAINT [PK_Items_TEST] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

    (

    [Id] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    truncate table dbo.Items_TEST

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Items_TEST

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('9999', '3004', NULL, 'EEVEY', '2012-09-16', 'FV', 'SM', '2012-11-19', '12:01:29', '0.00', '3.00')

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Items_TEST

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('9999', '3004', NULL, 'EEVEY', '2012-09-17', 'FV', 'SM', '2012-12-20', '09:14:54', '4.00', '0.00')

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Items_TEST

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('9999', '3004', NULL, 'EEVEY', '2012-09-18', 'FV', 'SM', '2013-01-10', '14:36:23', '5.00', '0.00')

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Items_TEST

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('5544', '3002', NULL, 'PESS', '2012-09-17', 'FV', 'SM', '2013-01-10', '14:36:23', '1.50', '0.00')

    ;

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Staging1](

    [Location] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [ProdCode] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [Item] [nvarchar](6) NULL,

    [Customer] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL,

    [Date_Effective] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,

    [Source] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [User] [nvarchar](50) NULL,

    [Date_Exported] [smalldatetime] NULL,

    [Time_Exported] [nvarchar](8) NULL,

    [Add1] [numeric](7, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Staging1_Add1] DEFAULT ((0.00)),

    [Add2] [numeric](7, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Staging1_Add2] DEFAULT ((0.00))

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    TRUNCATE TABLE dbo.Staging1

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Staging1

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('5544', '3002', NULL, 'PESSY', '2012-09-21', 'FV', 'SM', '2013-01-19', '14:08:31', '0.50', '0.40')

    ;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Staging1

    (

    Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2

    )

    VALUES ('9999', '3004', NULL, 'EEVEY', '2012-09-21', 'FV', 'SM', '2013-01-19', '14:08:31', '7.00', '0.00')

    ;

    So, in the above examples, 2 records should be updated:

    1.

    Add1 becomes '7.00'

    where Location = '9999'

    AND ProdCode = '3004'

    AND Customer = 'EEVE'

    AND Date_Effective = '18/09/2012 00:00:00'

    (This has the greatest Date_Effective value of the 3 rows)

    2.

    Add1 becomes '0.50'

    AND Add2 becomes '0.40'

    where Location = '5544'

    AND ProdCode = '3002'

    AND Customer = 'PESS'

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Here's one way, I think

    update it

    set Add1 = s.Add1

    ,Add2 = s.Add2

    from dbo.items_test it

    join dbo.Staging1 s on it.Location = s.Location

    and it.ProdCode = s.ProdCode

    and it.Customer = s.Customer

    where it.Date_Effective = (

    select max(date_effective)

    from dbo.Items_TEST t

    where t.Location = it.Location

    and t.ProdCode = it.ProdCode

    and t.Customer = it.Customer

    )

  • Phil - Many thanks!! It looks like it's done the trick 🙂

  • Great, no problem!

  • One more way:-)

    2 remarks before the discussion about the way to update your table:

    1)Try not to use column names that are also reserved words in SQL Server. The column name user is not a good name and it forces us to use square brackets in the code

    2)In you example you had different customer names PESS and PESSY. In the requested solution you treated both customers as the same one. I treated it as a typo.

    There are few ways to do what you want. The steps to do it are to identify the columns that should be updated and then update those columns in an update statement that uses from clause with join. I've used CTE that marks those records and give them a value of 1 in a column that is called RowNum. Then I run an update statement on the CTE. The code bellow shows it:

    with MyCTE as (

    select Location, ProdCode, Item, Customer, Date_Effective, Source, [User], Date_Exported, Time_Exported, Add1, Add2,

    row_number() over (partition by Location, ProdCode, Customer order by Date_Effective desc) AS RowNum

    from Items_TEST)

    update MyCTE

    SET MyCTE.Item = Staging1.Item,

    MyCTE.Date_Effective = Staging1.Date_Effective,

    MyCTE.Source = Staging1.Source,

    MyCTE.[User] = Staging1.[User],

    MyCTE.Date_Exported = Staging1.Date_Exported,

    MyCTE.Time_Exported = Staging1.Time_Exported,

    MyCTE.Add1 = Staging1.Add1,

    MyCTE.Add2 = Staging1.Add2

    from Staging1 inner join MyCTE on Staging1.Customer = MyCTE.Customer

    AND Staging1.Location = MyCTE.Location

    AND Staging1.ProdCode = MyCTE.ProdCode

    AND MyCTE.RowNum = 1
