Change column value after left join SQL - tsql

I have the following statement:
select distinct x_order.code , x_order.status , x_order.project , project.active , project.code as projectcode
from project
left join x_order on x_order.project = project.code
where status = 'B' and active = 0
Which gives me a nice table with all the records I want to change. I now need to change the values in the 'status' column from B to D in this table. How can I do that?
I tried UPDATE, but to no success.

Not sure of the exact table structures you're using, but would a CTE work for you like this...
;WITH CTE
AS (
select distinct x_order.code as ordercode , x_order.status , x_order.project , project.active , project.code as projectcode
from project
left join x_order on x_order.project = project.code
where status = 'B' and active = 0
)
UPDATE X
SET [status] = 'D'
FROM x_order X
JOIN CTE C
ON X.code = C.ordercode

How to repeat some data points in query results?

I am trying to get the max date by account from 3 different tables and view those dates side by side. I created a separate query for each table, merged the results with UNION ALL, and then wrapped all that in a PIVOT.
The first 2 sections in the link/pic below show what I have been able to accomplish and the 3rd section is what I would like to do.
Query results by step
How can I get the results from 2 of the tables to repeat? Is that possible?

Everything is possible. You only need a window function to make the value repeat across rows w/o data.
--Assuming current query is QC
With QC as (

select code, account, grouping,
--cash,
first_value(cash) over (partition by code, account order by grouping asc rows unbounded preceding) as cash_repeat,
perf,
--pos,
first_value(pos) over (partition by code, account order by grouping asc rows unbounded preceding) as pos_repeat
from QC
;

Update a column that has duplicates

I am using SQL server 2008R2 and have a table called AirNewformat .This table is mostly searched by ID column which has many duplicates. I wanted to update same table by adding a column called processed where first value of ID is updated as 'N' in processed column and rest of the duplicates updated as 'D' in the processed column. Currently i have all the records updated either as N or D but i want see an update like below example. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ID Processed
--- ---------
12 N
12 D
12 D
13 N
13 D
13 D
Please try this code if you might ( SQL Fiddle for this: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/03991/6 ):
Update first record in every ID group as N:
UPDATE
A
SET
A.Processed = 'N'
FROM
(
SELECT ID, Processed, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID) AS row_num FROM AirNewformat
) AS A
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
C.ID,
MIN(C.row_num) AS min_row_num
FROM
(
SELECT ID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY ID) AS row_num FROM AirNewformat
) AS C
GROUP BY C.ID
) AS B ON A.ID = B.ID AND A.row_num = B.min_row_num;
Update all the rest of records as D:
UPDATE
AirNewformat
SET
AirNewformat.Processed = 'D'
WHERE
ISNULL(AirNewformat.Processed, '') = '';
You can try this:
;with cte as
(
select ROW_NUMBER() over (PARTITION by ID order by ID) N, processed from airNewformat
)
update cte
set processed = case when N = 1 then 'N'
when N >1 then 'D' end;

Updating a CTE table fail cause of derived or constant field

I'm using MS-SQL 2012
WITH C1
(
SELECT ID, 0 as Match, Field2, Count(*)
FROM TableX
GROUP BY ID, Fields2
)
UPDATE C1 SET Match = 1
WHERE ID = (SELECT MATCHING_ID FROM AnotherTable WHERE ID = C1.ID)
This TSQL statement gives me the following error:
Update or insert of view or function 'C1' failed because it contains a derived or constant field.
Ideally I would like to create a "fake field" named Match and set its default value to 0. Then with the update I would like to Update ONLY the records that have an existing entry on the "AnotherTable".
Any thoughts what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advanced.
Try doing a Left Outer Join like
SELECT x.ID, ISNULL(a.Matching_ID, 0) as Match, x.Field2, Count(*)
FROM TableX x
LEFT OUTER JOIN AnotherTable a on x.ID = a.ID
GROUP BY x.ID, ISNULL(a.Matching_ID, 0), x.Fields2
without the need of a C1
If I am understanding correctly, the problem is that you are trying to update the CTE table. If you update the table directly you should be fine.
Does this modified version help?
SELECT t.ID
, CASE WHEN (EXISTS (SELECT MATCHING_ID FROM AnotherTable WHERE ID = t.ID)) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
,t.Field2
,Count(*)
FROM TableX t
GROUP BY ID, Fields2

How to match records for two different groups?

I have one main table called Event_log which contains all of the records that I need for this query. Within this table there is one column that I'm calling "Grp". To simplify things, assume that there are only two possible values for this Grp: A and B. So now we have one table, Event_log, with one column "Grp" and one more column called "Actual Date". Lastly I want to add one more Flag column to this table, which works as follows.
First, I order all of the records in descending order by date as demonstrated below. Then, I want to flag each Group "A" row with a 1 or a 0. For all "A" rows, if the previous record (earlier in date) = "B" row then I want to flag 1. Otherwise flag a 0. So this initial table looks like this before setting this flag:
Actual Date Grp Flag
1-29-13 A
12-27-12 B
12-26-12 B
12-23-12 A
12-22-12 A
But after these calculations are done, it should look like this:
Actual Date Grp Flag
1-29-13 A 1
12-27-12 B NULL
12-26-12 B NULL
12-23-12 A 0
12-22-12 A 0
How can I do this? This is simpler to describe than it is to query!
You can use something like:
select el.ActualDate
, el.Grp
, Flag = case
when el.grp = 'B' then null
when prev.grp = 'B' then 1
else 0
end
from Event_log el
outer apply
(
select top 1 prev.grp
from Event_log prev
where el.ActualDate > prev.ActualDate
order by prev.ActualDate desc
) prev
order by el.ActualDate desc
SQL Fiddle with demo.
Try this
;with cte as
(
SELECT CAST('01-29-13' As DateTime) ActualDate,'A' Grp
UNION ALL SELECT '12-27-12','B'
UNION ALL SELECT '12-26-12','B'
UNION ALL SELECT '12-23-12','A'
UNION ALL SELECT '12-22-12','A'
)
, CTE2 as
(
SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by actualdate desc) rn
FROM cte
)
SELECT a.*,
case
when A.Grp = 'A' THEN
CASE WHEN b.Grp = 'B' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
ELSE NULL
END Flag
from cte2 a
LEFT OUTER JOIN CTE2 b on a.rn + 1 = b.rn

Query to get row from one table, else random row from another

tblUserProfile - I have a table which holds all the Profile Info (too many fields)
tblMonthlyProfiles - Another table which has just the ProfileID in it (the idea is that this table holds 2 profileids which sometimes become monthly profiles (on selection))
Now when I need to show monthly profiles, I simply do a select from this tblMonthlyProfiles and Join with tblUserProfile to get all valid info.
If there are no rows in tblMonthlyProfile, then monthly profile section is not displayed.
Now the requirement is to ALWAYS show Monthly Profiles. If there are no rows in monthlyProfiles, it should pick up 2 random profiles from tblUserProfile. If there is only one row in monthlyProfiles, it should pick up only one random row from tblUserProfile.
What is the best way to do all this in one single query ?
I thought something like this
select top 2 * from tblUserProfile P
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblMonthlyProfiles M
on M.profileid = P.profileid
ORder by NEWID()
But this always gives me 2 random rows from tblProfile. How can I solve this ?
Try something like this:
SELECT TOP 2 Field1, Field2, Field3, FinalOrder FROM
(
select top 2 Field1, Field2, Field3, FinalOrder, '1' As FinalOrder from tblUserProfile P JOIN tblMonthlyProfiles M on M.profileid = P.profileid
UNION
select top 2 Field1, Field2, Field3, FinalOrder, '2' AS FinalOrder from tblUserProfile P LEFT OUTER JOIN tblMonthlyProfiles M on M.profileid = P.profileid ORDER BY NEWID()
)
ORDER BY FinalOrder
The idea being to pick two monthly profiles (if that many exist) and then 2 random profiles (as you correctly did) and then UNION them. You'll have between 2 and 4 records at that point. Grab the top two. FinalOrder column is an easy way to make sure that you try and get the monthly's first.
If you have control of the table structure, you might save yourself some trouble by simply adding a boolean field IsMonthlyProfile to the UserProfile table. Then it's a single table query, order by IsBoolean, NewID()
In SQL 2000+ compliant syntax you could do something like:
Select ...
From (
Select TOP 2 ...
From tblUserProfile As UP
Where Not Exists( Select 1 From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 )
Order By NewId()
) As RandomProfile
Union All
Select MP....
From tblUserProfile As UP
Join tblMonthlyProfile As MP
On MP.ProfileId = UP.ProfileId
Where ( Select Count(*) From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 ) >= 1
Union All
Select ...
From (
Select TOP 1 ...
From tblUserProfile As UP
Where ( Select Count(*) From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 ) = 1
Order By NewId()
) As RandomProfile
Using SQL 2005+ CTE you can do:
With
TwoRandomProfiles As
(
Select TOP 2 ..., ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY UP.ProfileID ) As Num
From tblUserProfile As UP
Order By NewId()
)
Select MP.Col1, ...
From tblUserProfile As UP
Join tblMonthlyProfile As MP
On MP.ProfileId = UP.ProfileId
Where ( Select Count(*) From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 ) >= 1
Union All
Select ...
From TwoRandomProfiles
Where Not Exists( Select 1 From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 )
Union All
Select ...
From TwoRandomProfiles
Where ( Select Count(*) From tblMonthlyProfile As MP1 ) = 1
And Num = 1
The CTE has the advantage of only querying for the random profiles once and the use of the ROW_NUMBER() column.
Obviously, in all the UNION statements the number and type of the columns must match.
