I'm trying to write a trigger and a sproc to achieve the following ;
table A has fields
name,value,date,pb
joe,45.6,2013-11-10,null
joe,23.1,2013-11-9,null
joe,56,2013-10-01,null
joe,12,2013-10-02,null
I am now going to insert the two records
joe,65,2012-09-01
joe,101,2013-10-07
On inserting the record i want to check if the if the value is higher than anything previous and reference the date to see if its later than the previous best and if it is update the pb column to yes.
I am thinking the trigger should qualify something like this
where name=@name
and date>@date
and value>@value
On completion of the trigger the PB column would be update to yes.
The next step (arguably the first and one off step) would be to recursively go trhough all the records exiting with a sproc and do the same line by line.
so eventually the table results with the new record would be
name,value,date,pb
joe,65,2012-09-01,pb
joe,56,2013-10-01,null
joe,12,2013-10-02,null
joe,101,2013-10-07,pb
joe,23.1,2013-11-9,null
joe,45.6,2013-11-10,null
Appreciate any input.
Cheers
