MERGE Not Providing Results from with Query

  • Hi, I have posted a similar question which has been resolved. However, this follow on question is intended to both improve my understanding of the MERGE statement in our production environment as well as establish if there is workaround to produce a result.

    I'm getting the following error

    Invalid column name 'case_submitted_date'.

    when I run the following query

    SELECT m.ce_case_data_id, -- AS case_data_id
    m.cd_reference ,
    m.ce_created_date, -- AS CASE_CREATED_DATE

    GROUP BY ce_case_data_id
    ) f
    ON f.first_event_id = m.ce_id
    INNER JOIN stg_ccd_probategrant p
    ON p.case_metadata_event_id = m.ce_id
    WHERE m.ce_case_type_id = 'GrantOfRepresentation'
    -- AND NOT EXISTS
    -- (SELECT 1 FROM tbl_probate_case t WHERE t.case_data_id = m.ce_case_data_id
    -- ) ;
    MERGE INTO tbl_probate_case trg
    USING ( SELECT m.ce_case_data_id
    , MIN(m.ce_created_date) AS case_submitted_date
    FROM v_ccd_probate_metadata m

    AND m.ce_event_id IN ('applyforGrantPaperApplication', 'paymentSuccessApp', 'createCase', 'paymentSuccessCase', 'createCasePaymentSuccess', 'boImportGrant', 'applyForGrant')
    And m.ce_state_id In ('CaseCreated', 'BOCaseImported', 'PAAppCreated')

    ) Src
    ON ( src.ce_case_data_id = trg.case_data_id )
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
    SET trg.case_submitted_date=CASE WHEN trg.ce_app_sub_date IS NULL THEN src.case_submitted_date ELSE trg.ce_app_sub_date END
    , Trg.Submitted = 1
    , trg.bi_last_updated_date = GETUTCDATE();

    Now, a very clever person on another forum has already told me that the problem is that 'case_submitted_date' does not exist in the target table tbl_probate_case (and I hope he doesn't read this forum, as I don't want him to think I'm undermining him as he as been a tremendous help), but the only reason why I'm still working on this is because the code is currently being used in production.

    I should point out the code is being used in Oracle PL /SQL

    I just want to get your thoughts

  • First thing, posting an Oracle question in the SQL Server 2016 forum section is likely not going to get many results (if any).

    Next, I am confused why you posted here when a different user told you what was wrong - the column doesn't exist.

    My approach to troubleshooting this though would be to first determine WHICH column it thinks is missing.  As a GUESS I would say it is trg.case_submitted_date, so I would check to make sure the column exists in the database.  It could be something like case sensitivity that is causing it to think it is missing.

    But the BEST way to get help on this forum is to submit DDL and some sample data so we can reproduce your problem.  I won't be much help as I am a SQL Server guy and this is MOSTLY a SQL Server forum.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

  • Hi Brian,

    I hope the person that originally told me what the problem doesn't read this post, as he was extremely helpful and I don't want to undermine him. But I would just like to know what makes this code work in Oracle - I seriously hope he doesn't get affended.

    Anyway, here you go.

  • Can you also post DDL and sample INSERT statements (if any) for tbl_probate_case?

    The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • Has table tbl_probate_case got a column named case_submitted_date in the environment you are getting the error?

  • Hi Jonathon,

    tbl_probate_case does not have column named case_submitted_date.

    I very clever person on another forum has already advised me that the problem was the missing column. The thrust behind this question is to determine why the query works with Oracle PL / SQL and not T-SQL.

    The DDL for tbl_probate_case is as follows:

  • I think you need to ask this question in an Oracle forum, as it makes no sense to me.

    In SQL Server terms, I think you'll agree that it's very clear:

    "The MERGE statement is attempting to modify a column which does not exist in the table being updated."

    Why does this work in Oracle? No idea whatsoever.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • Thanks for responding...
