Help with query

  • I have written a query but I'm not sure how to handle the version_number field. When a record gets updated a new row is written and the version_number gets incremented. I need to add a clause that says if there is more than one bp_id exists then ignore. I can't say version_number > 1 because there are two separate rows. Ideas?

    example:

    bp_version_id version_number bp_id title description

    520 1 540 some title some description

    972 2 540 some title some description

    Currently my query grabs the first row because it meets all conditions but I don't want the first row because the bp_id has a newer version that doesn't meet the conditions

    QUERY:

    SELECT DISTINCT

    d.dow_name,

    'http://mspweb02/bestpractice/bp_read.aspx?bp_version_id=' + CONVERT(varchar,b.bp_version_id) AS [EventHyperlink],

    b.bp_version_id,

    b.effective_date,

    b.title, u.firstname + ' ' + u.lastname AS Steward,

    case b.status_code_id WHEN 4 THEN 'Draft' END AS Status,

    a.action_description AS 'History Status'

    FROM

    dbo.best_practice_version AS B INNER JOIN

    dbo.action AS A ON b.bp_version_id = a.bp_version_id

    INNER JOIN dbo.best_practice AS BP ON BP.bp_id = b.bp_id

    INNER JOIN dbo.steward_og_dow AS S ON S.steward_og_id = b.steward_og_id

    INNER JOIN dbo.ad_user AS U ON U.ad_user_id = S.ad_user_id

    INNER JOIN dbo.division_of_work AS D ON D.dow_id = S.dow_id

    WHERE

    b.status_code_id = 4

    and a.pending_review_flag = 1

    and a.action_type_id = 32

  • You are more likely to get a reply if you provide test data and expected results.

    I, for one, do not understand what you are trying to do.

  • Hope this helps. I only want row one if row two doesn't exist. The second column is the version number. So if there is a version_number >1 then I don't want to return anything.

  • If you want the most recent version for a given bp_id try the ROW_NUMBER() approach.

    As you have not given test data, I do not know which table bp_id is in.
