COALESCE failing following CTE Deletion. (PostgreSQL) - postgresql

This works some of the time:

Where table rx is defined as:

After many hours, it is found that the "Delete.." of a conflicting record works as expected, but the "COALESCE" STATEMENT seems to fail when deciding on the new surrogate key (primary key) of rx.recid -- it does not seem to receive the result of the delete. (Or maybe the timing is wrong???)
Any help would be most appreciated.
TIA

This is documented:
The sub-statements in WITH are executed concurrently with each other and with the main query. Therefore, when using data-modifying statements in WITH, the order in which the specified updates actually happen is unpredictable. All the statements are executed with the same snapshot (see Chapter 13, so they cannot “see” one another's effects on the target tables.
Don't use the same table twice in a statement with a CTE if it occurs in a DML statement. Rather, use DELETE ... RETURNING and use the returned values in the other parts of the statement.
If you cannot rewrite the statement like that, use more than one statement instead of putting everything into a single CTE.

#LaurenzAlbe is totally correct in his answer. Below is a working solution to my problem. There are a few things to note:
The unique constraint is formed on a column in rx defined as a date and created by a trigger on update/insert that casts the timestamp of trx to a date: as in trx::date. For reasons I am not clear on, using r.trx::date in place of r.dposted leads to many records being identified and not the one record I want. Not sure why???. So the first fix was to use r.dposted, not r.trx::date.
Although the cte's are designed to be independent of each other, by using "RETURNING..." and incorporating the cte's in a step-wise fashion, one can be built upon another to obtain a final result set.
The working code is:
WITH _in(trx, lastname, firstname, birthdate, old_disp, old_medname, old_sig, old_form, new_disp, new_medname, new_sig, new_form, new_refills) AS (
VALUES ('2001-06-07 00:00:00'::timestamp,

28::integer,
LOWER(TRIM('test')), LOWER(TRIM('i am sig')), LOWER(TRIM('tab')),
28::integer,
LOWER(TRIM('test 1')), LOWER(TRIM('i am sig')), LOWER(TRIM('tab')),
8::integer
)
),
_m AS (
SELECT n.*, d1.recid as old_medication_recid, d2.recid as new_medication_recid, pt.recid as patient_recid

INSERT INTO SELECT JOIN returning null from joined table (Postgres)

I'm using the following Knex statement to copy data from two tables into another table:
const insert = knex.from(knex.raw('?? (??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??)', ['carrier', 'docket_number', 'dot_number', 'legal_name', 'dba_name', 'nbr_power_unit', 'rating', 'carrier_operation']))
.insert(knex('carrier_temp as ct').leftJoin('carrier_census_temp as cen', 'ct.dot_number', 'cen.DOT_NUMBER')
.select(['ct.docket_number as docket_number',
'ct.dot_number as dot_number',
'ct.legal_name as legal_name',
'ct.dba_name as dba_name',
'cen.tot_pwr as nbr_power_unit',
'cen.RATING as rating',
knex.raw('CASE WHEN cen.crrinter = \'A\' THEN \'INTERSTATE\' ELSE \'INTRASTATE\' END as "carrier_operation"')])).toString()
const conflict = knex.raw('ON CONFLICT (docket_number) DO NOTHING;').toString()
const q = insert + conflict
await knex.raw(q).debug()
The generated sql is:
INSERT INTO "carrier"
(
"docket_number",
"dot_number",
"legal_name",
"dba_name",
"nbr_power_unit",
"rating",
"carrier_operation"
)
SELECT "ct"."docket_number" AS "docket_number",
"ct"."dot_number" AS "dot_number",
"ct"."legal_name" AS "legal_name",
"ct"."dba_name" AS "dba_name",
"cen"."tot_pwr" AS "nbr_power_unit",
"cen"."RATING" AS "rating",
CASE
WHEN cen.crrinter = 'A' THEN 'INTERSTATE'
ELSE 'INTRASTATE'
END AS "carrier_operation"
FROM "carrier_temp" AS "ct"
left join "carrier_census_temp" AS "cen"
ON "ct"."dot_number" = "cen"."DOT_NUMBER" ON conflict (docket_number) DO nothing;
The carrier table receives all the columns that are referenced from carrier_temp or ct correctly, but the columns pulled from carrier_census_temp or cen are all ending up as NULL (nbr_power_unit, rating, and carrier_operation). That is, except for the case statement, which is setting every row's carrier_operation to INTRASTATE. If I instead equate NULL in the case statement, it still sets every row to INTRASTATE. Does anyone have any idea why this is?
See comments on question. I totally missed something wrong in my data that led to nothing ever being joined, which just leads everything to always be NULL.

Merge join not able to join properly on varchar column

I've created below code to implement SCD type 2 using merge, when i run the code i'm getting primary key violations on csname field. I have the below values as part of primary key, not sure whether merge SQL does support for varchar or not.
if I run the normal inner join SQL on the same key then i'm getting the matching records as well.
Any help much appreciated

TSQL CTE Error: Incorrect syntax near ')'

I am developing a TSQL stored proc using SSMS 2008 and am receiving the above error while generating a CTE. I want to add logic to this SP to return every day, not just the days with data. How do I do this? Here is my SP so far:
ALTER Proc [dbo].[rpt_rd_CensusWithChart]
#program uniqueidentifier = NULL,
#office uniqueidentifier = NULL
AS
DECLARE #a_date datetime
SET #a_date = case when MONTH(GETDATE()) >= 7 THEN '7/1/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(30))
ELSE '7/1/' + CAST(YEAR(GETDATE())-1 AS VARCHAR(30)) END
if exists (
select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#ENROLLEES')
) DROP TABLE #ENROLLEES;
if exists (
select * from tempdb.dbo.sysobjects o where o.xtype in ('U') and o.id = object_id(N'tempdb..#DISCHARGES')
) DROP TABLE #DISCHARGES;
declare #sum_enrollment int
set #sum_enrollment =
(select sum(1)
from enrollment_view A
join enrollment_info_expanded_view C on A.enrollment_id = C.enroll_el_id
where
(#office is NULL OR A.group_profile_id = #office)
AND (#program is NULL OR A.program_info_id = #program)
and (C.pe_end_date IS NULL OR C.pe_end_date > #a_date)
AND C.pe_start_date IS NOT NULL and C.pe_start_date < #a_date)
select
A.program_info_id as [Program code],
A.[program_name],
A.profile_name as Facility,
A.group_profile_id as Facility_code,
A.people_id,
1 as enrollment_id,
C.pe_start_date,
C.pe_end_date,
LEFT(datename(month,(C.pe_start_date)),3) as a_month,
day(C.pe_start_date) as a_day,
#sum_enrollment as sum_enrollment
into #ENROLLEES
from enrollment_view A
join enrollment_info_expanded_view C on A.enrollment_id = C.enroll_el_id
where
(#office is NULL OR A.group_profile_id = #office)
AND (#program is NULL OR A.program_info_id = #program)
and (C.pe_end_date IS NULL OR C.pe_end_date > #a_date)
AND C.pe_start_date IS NOT NULL and C.pe_start_date >= #a_date
;WITH #ENROLLEES AS (
SELECT '7/1/11' AS dt
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(d, 1, pe_start_date) as dt
FROM #ENROLLEES s
WHERE DATEADD(d, 1, pe_start_date) <= '12/1/11')
The most obvious issue (and probably the one that causes the error message too) is the absence of the actual statement to which the last CTE is supposed to pertain. I presume it should be a SELECT statement, one that would combine the result set of the CTE with the data from the #ENROLLEES table.
And that's where another issue emerges.
You see, apart from the fact that a name that starts with a single # is hardly advisable for anything that is not a local temporary table (a CTE is not a table indeed), you've also chosen for your CTE a particular name that already belongs to an existing table (more precisely, to the already mentioned #ENROLLEES temporary table), and the one you are going to pull data from too. You should definitely not use an existing table's name for a CTE, or you will not be able to join it with the CTE due to the name conflict.
It also appears that, based on its code, the last CTE represents an unfinished implementation of the logic you say you want to add to the SP. I can suggest some idea, but before I go on I'd like you to realise that there are actually two different requests in your post. One is about finding the cause of the error message, the other is about code for a new logic. Generally you are probably better off separating such requests into distinct questions, and so you might be in this case as well.
Anyway, here's my suggestion:
build a complete list of dates you want to be accounted for in the result set (that's what the CTE will be used for);
left-join that list with the #ENROLLEES table to pick data for the existing dates and some defaults or NULLs for the non-existing ones.
It might be implemented like this:
… /* all your code up until the last WITH */
;
WITH cte AS (
SELECT CAST('7/1/11' AS date) AS dt
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(d, 1, dt) as dt
FROM cte
WHERE dt < '12/1/11'
)
SELECT
cte.dt,
tmp.[Program code],
tmp.[program_name],
… /* other columns as necessary; you might also consider
enveloping some or all of the "tmp" columns in ISNULLs,
like in
ISNULL(tmp.[Program code], '(none)') AS [Program code]
to provide default values for absent data */
FROM cte
LEFT JOIN #ENROLLEES tmp ON cte.dt = tmp.pe_start_date
;

oracle sequence question

There are two inserts in my trigger which is fired by an update. My Vendor_Hist table has a field called thID which is the primary key in Task_History table. thID gets its' value from mySeq.nextval.
INSERT INTO TASK_HISTORY
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
( select mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySeq2.CurrVal, LABOR, tmpVersion
from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_ID );
select mySeq.currval into tmpTHID from dual; -- problem here!
INSERT INTO VENDOR_HIST
( vhID, thID, Amount, Position, version )
( select mySeq3.NEXTVAL, tmpTHID,
Amount, Position, tmpVersion
from vendors v2, tasks t2
where v2.myID = t2.myID
and t2.project_id = :new.project_ID );
Now, my problem is the tmpTHID always the latest value of mySeq.nextVal. So, if thID in task_history is 1,2,3, I get three inserts into vendor_hist table with 3,3,3. It has to be 1,2,3. I also tried
INSERT INTO TASK_HISTORY
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
( select mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySe2.CurrVal, LABOR, tmpVersion
from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_ID ) returning thID into :tmpTHID;
but then I get a "warning compiled with errors" message when I execute the trigger. How do I make sure that the thID in first insert is also the same in my second insert?
Hope it makes sense.
for i in (select * from tasks t
where t.project_id = :new.project_id)
loop
insert into task_history
( thID, phId, LABOR, VERSION )
values
(mySeq.NEXTVAL, mySeq2.CurrVal, i.LABOR, i.tmpVersion);
for each j in (select * from vendors v
where i.myId = v.myId)
loop
insert into vendor_history
( vhID, thID, Amount, Position, version )
values
(mySeq3.NEXTVAL, mySeq.CURRVAL, j.Amount, j.Position, j.tmpVersion)
end loop;
end loop;
I'm assuming the columns inserted in the second insert are from the VENDORS table; if not, the referencing cursor (i or j) should be used as appropriate.
Instead of the currVal, it works with the following subselect.
( select min(thID) from task_history t3
where t3.project_id = t2.project_id
and t3.myID = t2.myID
and t3.version = tmpVersion ),

T-SQL Delete command basing on table variable

I need to delete some rows from table where indexes are equal indexes in table variable
declare #m_table as table
(
number NUMERIC(18,0)
)
...
inserting some rows into #m_table
...
DELETE ct FROM [dbo].[customer_task] ct
inner join project_customer pc on pc.id_customer = #m_table.number
inner join customer_user cu on cu.id_project_customer = pc.id
WHERE ct.id_csr_user = cu.id AND ct.id_status = 1;
but this code generates an error: Must declare the scalar variable "#m_table" How to solve that ?
You probably have a 'GO' (a batch separator) in those '...'
Variable declarations do not span batches.
The error means that SQL is expecting you to treat #m_table like a standard table, rather than a scalar (int, bit, etc.) variable. Perhaps something like this will work?
DELETE ct FROM [dbo].[customer_task] ct
WHERE ct.id_csr_user IN (
SELECT cu.id FROM customer_user cu
INNER JOIN project_customer pc ON pc.id = cu.id_project_customer
WHERE pc.id_customer IN (SELECT number FROM #m_table.number)
) AND ct.id_status = 1;
