Flag Records with highest version number within calculated field/calculated column as “true”, rest as false

问题

Environment: MS SQL Server 2016.

I have a table which contains (Jasper Reports) layout representations like this (only relevant fields shown for brevity):

ID        Name                          Key                           Version
  1       CoverLetter                   <guid1>                       1.00.00
  2       Contract                      <guid2>                       1.00.00
  3       CoverLetter                   <guid1>                       1.00.01

Goal:

I need an additional calculated field which is set to true or false according to whether the record is the highest version of any given Layout or not (Same layout but different versions have same key, different layouts have different key).

Like this:

ID:       Name:                 Key:          Version:      isHighestVersion: (calculated field)
  1       CoverLetter           <guid1>       1.00.00       false
  2       Contract              <guid2>       1.00.00       true
  3       CoverLetter           <guid1>       1.00.01       true

The SQL query which shows only the highest versions of each Layout is like this:

( SELECT TACMasterlayouts.*
FROM
  (SELECT
     TACMasterLayoutKey, MAX(TACMasterLayoutVersion) as TACMasterLayoutVersion
   FROM
     TACMasterlayouts
   GROUP BY
     TACMasterLayoutKey) AS latest_TACMasterLayouts
INNER JOIN
  TACMasterlayouts
ON
  TACMasterlayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey = latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey AND
  TACMasterlayouts.TACMasterLayoutVersion = latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutVersion
)

But I need all records - the ones with highest version number per same key flagged with true and the rest flagged with false.

What I already did: Searched google and SO but didn't find anything similar which I could transform into what I need.

回答1:

Just change your INNER JOIN To a LEFT OUTER JOIN

and use a case in your Select EG

CASE WHEN latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey IS NOT NULL THEN 1  ELSE 0 END as isHighestVersion

Thanks John, this has pointed me into the right direction.

It has to be a RIGHT OUTER JOIN - otherwise only the records with highest version are shown.

As reference here the fully working code:

SELECT TACMasterlayouts.*, CASE WHEN latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey IS NOT NULL THEN 1  ELSE 0 END as isHighestVersion
FROM
  (SELECT TACMasterLayoutKey, MAX(TACMasterLayoutVersion) as TACMasterLayoutVersion
   FROM
     TACMasterlayouts
   GROUP BY
 TACMasterLayoutKey) AS latest_TACMasterLayouts
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
  TACMasterlayouts
ON
  TACMasterlayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey = latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutKey AND
  TACMasterlayouts.TACMasterLayoutVersion = latest_TACMasterLayouts.TACMasterLayoutVersion
  )

You need to do some parsing in order to get desired result.

First, you split your version numbers into separate ints, then assign row_number based on them, and then based on row number, you put 1-true or 0-false in a extra column, which I called IsLatest.

In SQL Server there is no true or false, you can use BIT datatype, which has two values (just like boolean): 1 and 0.

Try this query:

declare @tbl table(ID int,Name varchar(20),[Key] varchar(10),Version varchar(10));
insert into @tbl values 
(1,'CoverLetter','<guid1>','1.00.00'),
(2,'Contract','<guid2>','1.00.00'),
(3,'CoverLetter','<guid1>','1.00.01');

select ID, [Key], [version],
       case when rn = 1 then 1 else 0 end IsLatest
from (
    select *,
           row_number() over (order by
             cast(substring([version], 1, FirstDot - 1) as int) desc,
             cast(substring([version], FirstDot + 1, SecondDot - FirstDot - 1) as int) desc,
             cast(substring([version], SecondDot + 1, 100) as int) desc) rn
    from (
        select ID, [Key], [version],
               charindex('.', [version]) FirstDot,
               charindex('.', [version], charindex('.', [version]) + 1) SecondDot
        from @tbl
    ) a
) a
