This solution will work, but will loop the update statement if there are any group of three (or more) teams with the same RANKING. I guess that is a rather...

Hi Markus

The "Quirky Update" did the trick 🙂

I tested it against about 20000 records and the outcome was satisfying and quite fast as well.

Next, i will put it on...

Hi John,

It´s allways a good rule of thumb to use TOP 1 together with EXISTS, because it prevents the database engine from doing unneccesary work.

I you write:

select *

from OneTable

where EXISTS...

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the reply. 🙂

I will certainly test your solution.

You stated that it would work on not to big tables. Is a table with about 550000 records per...

Hi again,

just thought i should give the cursor solution aswell, since this is the more usual way to solve this kind of problem. It works fine if the table isn´t...

Dear Jakke,

this is actually a kind of "Running Total" problem, where you want one row to depend on the row before.

Depending on the size of the tables, you can solve...

Hi,

since @mydate is of type DATETIME you get an implicit conversion of your neatly formatted string back to datetime.

Declare @mydate as a CHAR(14), or what you find suitable, and everything...

Hi Tom,

I would use a CTE to do the recursion. In your case you want to recurse both up and down in the hierarcy, so you would need two CTE:s...

Hi,

I'm used to the dateformat YYYY-MM-DD, you can use your dateformat instead to fill the table...

id int IDENTITY(1,1),

Hi Knockyo,

There is no good way to build dynamic queries the way you suggest. There is no way to dynamicaly change what columns to present in the result. You have...

If you need to do it by dynamic code you are boulding the parameters for sp_executesql incorrectly.

Short example:

DECLARE @SQLString nvarchar(500);

DECLARE @ParmDefinition nvarchar(500);

DECLARE @CountSQLQuery varchar(30);

SET @SQLString = N'SELECT @result = COUNT(*)...

There are (of course) several ways to do this. One is to make sure that the lower node-number of the two always get in the first column. Then the grouping...
