Update a column, multiple time on multiple contitions

  • I need to UPDATE a column in multiple rows with a different value for each WHERE condition.

    My updates are being done as individual queries like this:

    SQL Code:

    update s

    set s.clean_city = l.output_city ,

    s.input_city= l.input_city from mst_Address as s

    inner join digitlookups.dbo.city_lookup as l

    on s.clean_country=l.city_country and

    replace(addressline5,' ','')= L.Input_City

    WHERE clean_city is null

    and automatic_process_desc is null

    update s

    set s.clean_city = l.output_city ,

    s.input_city= l.input_city from mst_Address as s

    inner join digitlookups.dbo.city_lookup as l

    on s.clean_country=l.city_country

    and ' '+ addressline5 + ' ' LIKE '% ' + L.input_City + ' %'

    where clean_city is null and DBO.GEOEXCLUSION_CHECKER(AddressLine5) = 1

    and automatic_process_desc is null

    update s

    set s.clean_city = l.output_city ,

    s.input_city= l.input_city from mst_Address as s

    inner join digitlookups.dbo.city_lookup as l

    on s.clean_country=l.city_country

    and ' '+ addressline5 + ' ' LIKE '% ' + L.input_City + ' %'

    where clean_city is null and DBO.GEOEXCLUSION_CHECKER(AddressLine5) = 0

    and city_include_exclude = '0'

    and automatic_process_desc is null

    Is there any way to do something like this in a single query? or is is there any efficient way of doing this?

    Thanks.

  • You could combine the second two like this

    update s

    set s.clean_city = l.output_city ,

    s.input_city= l.input_city from mst_Address as s

    inner join digitlookups.dbo.city_lookup as l

    on s.clean_country=l.city_country

    and addressline5 LIKE '%' + L.input_City + '%'

    where clean_city is null

    and automatic_process_desc is null

    and

    (

    DBO.GEOEXCLUSION_CHECKER(AddressLine5) = 1

    OR

    (

    DBO.GEOEXCLUSION_CHECKER(AddressLine5) = 0

    and city_include_exclude = '0'

    )

    )

    I took out the extra space before and after addressline5 since it was not needed.

    I don't know that there is much way to combine this with the first one because the join conditions are different.

    The OR operator is valid in JOIN conditions - just join on (a=b and c=d) OR (a=c and b=d).
