Thanks, ladies and gentlemen! 不知啥原因,只有cyt(千山万水走遍) 的帖子有"Reply" link. 只好在这里一并谢各位了。

I've just tried it in Oracle.

cloud2001(卷云溶月)'s suggestion will assign NULL to record(cat='b' && type=1) as in the result shown below:

SQL> select * from tableA;
C TYPE VAL
- ---------- ----------
a 1 1000
a 2 110
b 1
b 2 201
c 1 2020
c 2 421
6 rows selected.

But thank cloud2001(卷云溶月) anyway.

As for cyt(千山万水走遍)'s suggestion, I couldn't find out what the correct syntax should be. When I tried the following:

UPDATE tableA A
SET A.val= (
SELECT DECODE(A.type,1,B.val1,2,B.val2)
FROM tableA A, tableB B
WHERE B.cat=A.cat)

Oracle complained, "single-row subquery returns more than one row".

Any tips, cyt(千山万水走遍) ?



I'll start try yangn(Raymond)'s suggestion in MS SQL Server. (to be continue)

    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I have two tables with structure and data as follows:

    create tableA
    (cat char(1), type number, val number);
    ------
    'a', 1, 100
    'a', 2, 110
    'b', 1, 511
    'b', 2, 201
    'c', 1, 310
    'c', 2, 421

    create tableB
    (cat char(1), val1 number, val2 number);
    ------
    'a', 1000, 1234
    'c', 2020, 2101


    I want tableA to be updated according to corresponding records in tableB:
    tableA (after updated)
    ------
    'a', 1, 1000
    'a', 2, 1234
    'b', 1, 511
    'b', 2, 201
    'c', 1, 2020
    'c', 2, 2101


    So I wrote the following PL/SQL script for Oracle:

    update tableA A
    set A.val = (select B.val1 from tableB B where B.cat = A.cat)
    where A.cat in (select cat from tableB)
    and A.type = 1;
    update tableA A
    set A.val = (select B.val2 from tableB B where B.cat = A.cat)
    where A.cat in (select cat from tableB)
    and A.type = 2;

    But I don't feel it is the decent answer.
    Do you have a better solution? What if column(tableA.type) has a large value space (1, 2, ..., N) and tableB has many columns (val1, val2, ..., valN)?

    And what's the answer for the same question in MS SQL Server?

    • My suggestion
      In Oracle:
      1. update tableA A
      set A.val = (select B.val1 from tableB B where B.cat = A.cat)
      where A.type = 1;
      2. for more columns, create a store procedure, declare a cursor, use Dynamic SQL: EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'sql statement', change the sql statement dynamically to do it;

      I don't know SQL Server.
    • 给个sql server 的solution:(见内) column增多,无非增加相应的case 而已,依然是single update statement.
      update tableA
      set tableA.val=
      case
      tableA.type
      when 1
      then tableB.val1
      when 2
      then tableB.val2
      end
      from tableA,tableB where tableA.cat=tableB.cat

      不敢说是oracle的专家,但二位好象都没有能用单一statement去完成update.无论是SQL SERVER还是ORACLE,能不用cursor还是应该尽量不用.
      • PF, PF
    • Since I have no testing Environment. Following answer are only for your reference. Oracle: UPDATE A SET value= SELECT DECODE(A.type,1,B.val1,2,B.val2,...) FROM B WHERE B.cat=A.cat; SQL: CASE statement should work.

        • decode前面加上distinct试试
          • Still rejected by Oracle, "single-row subquery returns more than one row". It seems the semantics of "UPDATE table SET column=value" in Oracle is different from that in MS SQL Server.
        • Try this one: UPDATE tableA A SET A.val= ( SELECT DECODE(A.type,1,B.val1,2,B.val2) FROM tableB B WHERE B.cat=A.cat)
          • Almost done. Thanks a lot! Good night
            SQL> UPDATE tableA A SET A.val= ( SELECT DECODE(A.type,1,B.val1,2,B.val2) FROM tableB B WHERE B.cat=
            A.cat);
            6 rows updated.
            SQL> select * from tableA;
            C TYPE VAL
            - ---------- ----------
            a 1 1000
            a 2 1234
            b 1
            b 2
            c 1 2020
            c 2 2101
            6 rows selected.


            I changed it to

            UPDATE tableA A
            SET A.val= (
            SELECT DECODE(A.type,1,B.val1,2,B.val2)
            FROM tableB B
            WHERE B.cat=A.cat
            )
            WHERE A.cat in (SELECT cat FROM tableB)

            then

            4 rows updated.
            SQL> select * from tableA;
            C TYPE VAL
            - ---------- ----------
            a 1 1000
            a 2 1234
            b 1 511
            b 2 201
            c 1 2020
            c 2 2101
            6 rows selected.

            Done. Thanks a lot!
      • yangn(Raymond)'s suggestion runs perfectly in MS SQL Server. Thanks!
        • You are welcome.
