RE: Summarizing and fixing up some data

In SQL, there is no way that I know of to delete and update in one
statement.

So here is one solution (I have not tried it), requiring two statements.
NOTE the difference between the T1.RRNBR : RRN(PROBLEMTBL) comparisons in
the UPDATE and the DELETE. This is key to your specs.


WITH T1 AS (SELECT SHIPPER, CONSIGNEE, PO, WAVE, COUNT(*) as COUNTER
, MIN(RRN(PROBLEMTBL)) as RRNBR
FROM PROBLEMTBL
GROUP BY SHIPPER, CONSIGNEE, PO, WAVE
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
UPDATE PROBLEMTBL PT
SET WAVE = 'MULTI'
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM T1
WHERE T1.SHIPPER = PT.SHIPPER
AND T1.CONSIGNEE = PT.CONSIGNEE
AND T1.PO = PT.PO
AND T1.RRNBR = RRN(PROBLEMTBL)
)



WITH T1 AS (SELECT SHIPPER, CONSIGNEE, PO, WAVE, COUNT(*) as COUNTER
, MIN(RRN(PROBLEMTBL)) as RRNBR
FROM PROBLEMTBL
GROUP BY SHIPPER, CONSIGNEE, PO, WAVE
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
DELETE FROM PROBLEMTBL PT
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM T1
WHERE T1.SHIPPER = PT.SHIPPER
AND T1.CONSIGNEE = PT.CONSIGNEE
AND T1.PO = PT.PO
AND T1.RRNBR < RRN(PROBLEMTBL)
)

The pessimist's ultimate observation:
-- - To make the attempt, is the first step toward faulure.

I have a file that has columns like this:



Shipper, Consignee, PO#, Wave#.



If there is more than one wave# per Shipper/Consignee/PO#, I want to
delete all but one of the records, and change the wave# to 'MULTI'



If there is only one record, leave it alone. Any ideas on how I could
do
this with SQL or RPG?



Thanks.
