To bude fungovat, ale protože neexistuje žádný sloupec identity nebo data a času - neexistuje způsob, jak zjistit, který řádek aktualizace je novější. Pokud je tedy ve stejném sloupci více aktualizací, vezmu pouze první abecedně/numericky (MIN).
WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT ID, REF, MIN(Title) Title, MIN(Surname) Surname, MIN(Forename) Forename, MIN(DOB) DOB, MIN(Add1) Add1, MIN(Postcode) Postcode
FROM Table1
GROUP BY id, REF
)
SELECT
d.REF
, d.ID
, COALESCE(T.Title, d.TItle) AS Title
, COALESCE(T.Surname, d.Surname) AS Surname
, COALESCE(T.Forename, d.Forename) AS Forename
, COALESCE(T.DOB, d.DOB) AS DOB
, COALESCE(T.Add1, d.Add1) AS Add1
, COALESCE(T.Postcode, d.Postcode) AS Postcode
FROM CTE d
INNER JOIN CTE t ON d.ID = t.ID AND d.REF = 'D' AND t.REF = 't'
Pokud lze přidat sloupec identity, můžeme jen přepsat část CTE, aby byla přesnější.
UPRAVIT:
Pokud máme sloupec identity a CTE je přepsáno tak, aby se stalo rekurzivním, lze ve skutečnosti vypustit celou další část dotazu.
