I changed the column for brevity...So its easier for you guys..Since my Column names are long...eg. BET_NUMBER_1. hate to write it that long, so i changed it to short form..

hmm! I just ran Nicolas' code against a test table and it worked fine...do you get any error messages at all ?! I inserted all the data exactly as you had posted...?!?!

Haven't had much of a look at this, but try this on for size. Copy and paste the entire code into Query Analyzer.

SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE TABLE #BETS (
 [BetID] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [DrawID] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [UserID] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num1] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num2] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num3] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num4] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num5] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num6] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num7] [int] NOT NULL ,
 [Num8] [int] NOT NULL
)

CREATE TABLE #MatchingBets (
    BetID int NOT NULL,
    Matches int NOT NULL
)

INSERT INTO #Bets VALUES (1,1,1001,1,2,4,7,12,19,21,26)
INSERT INTO #Bets VALUES (2,1,1001,4,2,6,7,17,29,33,45)
INSERT INTO #Bets VALUES (3,1,1001,1,2,4,7,10,19,23,35)
INSERT INTO #Bets VALUES (4,1,1001,5,7,21,22,32,37,40,43)

PRINT 'Stored Bets data'
PRINT REPLICATE('-', 20)
SELECT * FROM #Bets

DECLARE @Win1 int, @Win2 int, @Win3 int, @Win4 int, @Win5 int

SELECT @Win1 = 1, @Win2 = 4, @Win3 = 7, @Win4 = 19, @Win5 = 33

INSERT INTO #MatchingBets
SELECT BetID, 0 as MatchingBets
FROM #Bets

UPDATE #MatchingBets
SET Matches = 
    (CASE WHEN NUM1 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM2 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM3 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM4 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM5 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM6 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM7 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
    + (CASE WHEN NUM8 IN (@Win1,@Win2,@Win3,@Win4,@Win5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROM #Bets
    INNER JOIN #MatchingBets
    ON #Bets.BETID = #MatchingBets.BETID

PRINT 'Matched Bets totals'
PRINT REPLICATE('-', 20)
SELECT * FROM #MatchingBets

PRINT 'Details for Matched Bets'
PRINT REPLICATE('-', 20)
SELECT #Bets.BetID,DrawID,UserID,Num1,Num2,Num3,Num4
    ,Num5,Num6,Num7,Num8,#MatchingBets.Matches 
FROM #Bets
    INNER JOIN #MatchingBets
    ON #Bets.BETID = #MatchingBets.BETID

DROP TABLE #Bets
DROP TABLE #MatchingBets

Now, presuming that the #Bets table in my example code is a permanent table in the posters system. It should be relatively easy for some of you guys that have more time to provide a solution that doesn't involve the second table. Also, I'm all for one of the previous posts about changing the table structure. You shouldn't have Num1, Num2, Num3, etc... as seperate fields in the table.

here's the wholet thing from start to finish - apologies for the mishmash of upper and lower case...is late..

create table bets

(betid int,

drawid int,

userid int,

num1 int,

num2 int,

num3 int,

num4 int,

num5 int,

num6 int,

num7 int,

num8 int)

insert into bets values(1, 1, 1001, 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 19, 21, 26)

insert into bets values(2, 1, 1001, 4, 2, 6, 7, 17, 29, 33, 45)

insert into bets values(3, 1, 1001, 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 19, 23, 35)

insert into bets values(4, 1, 1001, 5, 7, 21, 22, 32, 37, 40, 43)

declare @Winner_1 int

declare @Winner_2 int

declare @Winner_3 int

declare @Winner_4 int

declare @Winner_5 int

SET @Winner_1 = 1

SET @Winner_2 = 2

SET @Winner_3 = 3

SET @Winner_4 = 4

SET @Winner_5 = 5

SELECT BetID, 0 as MatchingBets

INTO #TempBets

FROM BETS

UPDATE #TempBets

SET MatchingBets = ( CASE WHEN num1 IN (@Winner_1, @Winner_2,@Winner_3,@Winner_4,@Winner_5)

THEN 1 ELSE 0 END )

+

( CASE WHEN num2 IN (@Winner_1, @Winner_2,@Winner_3,@Winner_4,@Winner_5)

THEN 1 ELSE 0 END )

THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)

+

( CASE WHEN num5 IN (@Winner_1, @Winner_2,@Winner_3,@Winner_4,@Winner_5)

FROM BETS

WHERE #TempBets.BETID = BETS.BETID

select * from #TempBets

drop table #TempBets

FROM #Bets

INNER JOIN #MatchingBets

ON #Bets.BETID = #MatchingBets.BETID

I Used the codes given and it WORKED!!! Thanks...

But I need some adjustments, since the MatchingBets has only BETID and MatchingBets. I would like to Add in 2 More Columns too, which are my USERID and BETTYPE, while perfroming this query.

Also, as stated, That there are 5winning Numbers. I have actually added a Mystery Number. So anyone whom has this mystery number will win extra bonus.

So, some slight modification.

Matches = 5 Winning Numbers, Mystery = 1Mystery Number

So i need to query for the 5 numbers and 1 Mystery Number and populate the Matches and Mystery Column. I also need to capture the USERID and BETTYPE too inside my MatchingBets Table.

Sorry If im buggy, but Im learning SQL slowly, have to take step by step, in understanding the commands etc.

I hope you do not misunderstand me.

Im getting this error.

Server: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 14

There is already an object named 'MatchingBets' in the database.

David Burrows SSC Guru Points: 65142 More actions · Answer 11

Are you using a permanent or temp table?

If you are using a temp table you will get this error in QA if you do not drop the temp table when processing has finished.

Add this line to the end of the whole query

DROP TABLE #MatchingBets

and execute that line once and then run the whole query again

raj-248044 SSC Eights! Points: 838 More actions · Answer 12

I created a new table just for this..Its permanenet

David Burrows SSC Guru Points: 65142 More actions · Answer 13

In that case change the code to

DELETE FROM TABLE MatchingBets

INSERT INTO INTO MatchingBets

(BetID,USERID,BETTYPE,Matches,Mystery)

SELECT BetID,USERID,BETTYPE,0,0

FROM Bets

and make sure the table structure contains the following columns in the correct order BetID,USERID,BETTYPE,Matches,Mystery

Another error?

My USERID and BETTYPE are varchar?

Any problem with that??
