Updating missing records in T-SQL

  • So, I am sure this is a pretty simple query, but I am stumped.

    I have a query

    SELECT T1.LoadStatsPODSPolicyTrID, T2.PolicyTrID, T1.LoadStatsPODSPolicyEventTrID, T2.PolicyEventTrID

    FROM Staging.LoadStats T1 LEFT JOIN Policy.PolicyEvent T2 ON T1.LoadStatsPODSPolicyTrID = T2.PolicyTrID

    WHERE T2.PolicyTrID = 3179656

    AND ISNULL(LoadStatsPODSPolicyEventTrID, '') <> PolicyEventTrID

    And the results are

    LoadStatsPODSPolicyTrIDPolicyTrIDLoadStatsPODSPolicyEventTrIDPolicyEventTrID

    31796563179656NULL4960367

    31796563179656NULL5615389

    31796563179656NULL6865778

    3179656317965656153894960367

    3179656317965656153896865778

    3179656317965668657784960367

    3179656317965668657785615389

    but what I want is

    LoadStatsPODSPolicyTrIDPolicyTrIDLoadStatsPODSPolicyEventTrIDPolicyEventTrID

    31796563179656NULL4960367

    Basically, I need the row out of LoadStats where the LoadStatsPODSPolicyEventTrID is NULL and the PolicyEventTrID is not (to fill in the blanks)

    You are right this is probably a pretty simple query. However with no ddl or sample data it is impossible for anyone on this side of the internet. Please take a few minutes to read the article in my signature about best practices when posting questions.
