hI,
I want to do a modification in the table whcih was a result of hte join query....
..i want only tht rows in whcih pricedate(column) is equal to date_sold or nearest to the date _sold( lesser).......
I mean like if there are 5 identical rows like this( in the table) ---
item des qty date_ sold so_p c_p t_s sa_p price pricedate
1)SD Soda 1 '2010-09-01 08:32:42' 10$ 11$ 20$ 0$ 11$ '2010-09-03 13:21:33'
2)SD Soda 1 '2010-09-01 08:32:42' 10$ 11$ 20$ 0$ 10$ '2010-08-27 11:12:13'
3)SD Soda 1 '2010-09-01 08:32:42' 10$ 11$ 20$ 0$ 13$ '2011-02-01 10:43:44'
4)SD Soda 1 '2010-09-01 08:32:42' 10$ 11$ 20$ 0$ 08$ '2010-05-09 12:12:23'
5)SD Soda 1 '2010-09-01 08:32:42' 10$ 11$ 20$ 0$ 12$ '2010-07-29 17:15:34'
So, in hte above rows from my data, only 1 row should be picked tht is row 2)
because the pricedate ('2010-08-27 11:12:13) is nearest to the date_sold(2010-09-01 08:32:42) in the backward direction,
In row 1) '2010-09-03 is nearest to '2010-09-01 but i dont want that as it is ahead of '2010-09-01....
I hope it was clear.
Thanks,
Sushant

For a particular item and a particular date_sold , there can be max of 1 row and a minimum of 0 rows (if pricedate> date_sold)

i got thru turning your post into consumable data, and ran out of gas....

if the data was already in consumable format, i probably would have worked on a solution instead.

here's the handoff for the next volunteer:

with mycte(item,des,qty,date_,sold,so_p,c_p,t_s,sa_p,price,pricedate)

AS

(

SELECT 1,'SD','Soda',1,'2010-09-01 08:32:42',10.00,11.00,20.00,0.00,11.00,'2010-09-03 13:21:33' UNION ALL

SELECT 2,'SD','Soda',1,'2010-09-01 08:32:42',10.00,11.00,20.00,0.00,10.00,'2010-08-27 11:12:13' UNION ALL

SELECT 3,'SD','Soda',1,'2010-09-01 08:32:42',10.00,11.00,20.00,0.00,13.00,'2011-02-01 10:43:44' UNION ALL

SELECT 4,'SD','Soda',1,'2010-09-01 08:32:42',10.00,11.00,20.00,0.00,08.00,'2010-05-09 12:12:23' UNION ALL

SELECT 5,'SD','Soda',1,'2010-09-01 08:32:42',10.00,11.00,20.00,0.00,12.00,'2010-07-29 17:15:34'

)

select * from mycte
