Re: Validating data with SQL

I was going to post a question similar to this but thought i would just ask
it based on this one. Someone posted another question the other day about
setll and sql and changing program code. Here is my question. If your
doing updates and or inserts using embedded sql, runsql, scripts or the
like what protects the data for "bad data".

This is off the top of my head
With groupedfile as

Countedfile as
(select b.key1, b.key2, b.key3, count(*) from groupedfile as b
Having count(*) greater than 1)
Select c.key1. c.key2, c.key3, d. Cmpsn_Type from countedfile as c join

fileA as d on

c.key1 = d.key1 and
c.key2 = d.key2 and
c.key3 = d.key3

or something to that effect

Subject: Validating data with SQL

I have 2 files. A detail file and a summary file. There is a field in

both files called Compensation type. The summary file is based on rolling
up the data from the detail file based on 15 key fields. All of which are
attributes in the detail file. I am trying to verify that all of the
detail records for a given set of keys have the same Compensation type. If
they don't, having the Compensation type at the summary file level doesn't
make sense.

Here is some sample data: (I shortened the # of key fields to make it

easier to understand)

Key1 Key2 Key3 .... Cmpsn Type
1 2 3 Gold
1 2 3 Gold
1 2 3 Gold
1 2 3 Gold
1 3 5 Silver
1 3 5 Silver
1 3 5 Bronze
2 1 1 Bronze
2 1 1 Bronze
2 1 1 Bronze
2 1 1 Bronze
2 1 1 Bronze
3 2 1 Gold

In this set of records, I'm trying to identify the situation for the

second set of keys (1,3,5) where the Compensation type is Silver on 2
records and Bronze on the third.
