Okay, I'll give it a shot...

DECLARE

INSERT INTO @tableA (CustNo, PurDate)

        ) AS ba

SELECT * FROM @tableC

In a set-oriented language you return the whole set of values that are temporally equal toMight wan the min(date diff) over(patition by account) .

Look up Dr. Codd's T-Join for something like this. I did an article on this https://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/celkos-sql-stumper-the-class-scheduling-problem

Please post DDL and follow ANSI/ISO standards when asking for help.

Hmmm... though interesting, I'm not sure how this relates to the task set before us by the OP. Might just be me who isn't bright enough to see it though. 🙂
