Hi,
I'm having 2 tables with old and new project numbers, If project number in Table A matches with Project Number in Table B, Then i need to update the Table A project number with its equivalent New project number located in Table B.
For that i;ve written the below query which worked fine, But now my requirement has been changed to:
I need to iterate through all the rows in Table A and Table B, If match found i need to INSERT a record in a new table which should store Project number(Varchar), IsProjNumConverted (Bit (0,1))
How can i do this using CASE statement>?
UPDATE
dbo.Incident_Info
SET
dbo.Incident_Info .Proj_ID = x.INVC_PROJ_ID
FROM
dbo.Incident_Info i
left outer join Repository.dbo.PROJ_ID_XREF x on x.PROJ_ID=i.Proj_ID
Thanks,

use merge statement to achieve the required .

So, you need to compare TableA and TableB and only if match is found insert into TableC ? Match on what? Old and Old? New and New? Both?

How do you determine value of the IsProjNumConverted flag?

I haven't tested this since there was no test data supplied, but I think this should work.

Insert into MergeTable (Project number, IsProjNumConverted)

Select Coalesce(x.proj_id,i.proj_id) as projID,

Case

When x.proj_id is not null then 1

else 0

End Converted

FROM dbo.Incident_Info i

left outer join Repository.dbo.PROJ_ID_XREF x on x.PROJ_ID=i.Proj_ID

Hi,

The query is working fine, But i need to display the project number even though there is no match found with project id in table b. The result set is coming like below when i execute your query,

01779.124.034Yes

12682.004.006Yes

NULLNo

12682.004.006Yes

NULLNo

Only for matched records i can see the project number, But i also need to see Project Number for NO case also. How can i acheive this?

Thanks

I need to write both the cases,

If match found in table A and table B, Then i need to write the output like

Table A ProjNumber Table B ProjNumber IsMatchFound

1234 1234 Y

1234 0000 N

I need to trace for which project numbers, there was no match found..

Please help me out..

Thanks

If you can't or won't correct your design as suggested by Joe, use the MERGE statement as suggested by Sandeep.
