SQL Case depending on previous status of record - sql

Question

I have a table containing status of a records. Something like this:
ID STATUS TIMESTAMP
1 I 01-01-2016
1 A 01-03-2016
1 P 01-04-2016
2 I 01-01-2016
2 P 01-02-2016
3 P 01-01-2016
I want to make a case where I take the newest version of each row, and for all P that has at some point been an I, they should be cased as a 'G' instead of P.
When I try to do something like
Select case when ID in (select ID from TABLE where ID = 'I') else ID END as status)
From TABLE
where ID in (select max(ID) from TABLE)
I get an error that this isn't possible using IN when casing.
So my question is, how do I do it then?
Want to end up with:
ID STATUS TIMESTAMP
1 G 01-04-2016
2 G 01-02-2016
3 P 01-01-2016

Answer 1

Have a derived table which returns each id with its newest timestamp. Join with that result:
select t1.ID, t1.STATUS, t1.TIMESTAMP
from tablename t1
join (select id, max(timestamp) as max_timestamp
from tablename
group by id) t2
ON t1.id = t2.id and t1.TIMESTAMP = t2.max_timestamp
Will return both rows in case of a tie (two rows with same newest timestamp.)
Note that ANSI SQL has TIMESTAMP as reserved word, so you may need to delimit it as "TIMESTAMP".

Answer 2

You can do this by using a common table expression find all IDs that have had a status of 'I', and then using an outer join with your table to determine which IDs have had a status of 'I' at some point.
To get the final result (with only the newest record) you can use the row_number() OLAP function and select only the "newest" record (this is shown in the ranked common table expression below:
with irecs (ID) as (
select distinct
ID
from
TABLE
where
status = 'I'
),
ranked as (
select
rownumber() over (partition by t.ID order by t.timestamp desc) as rn,
t.id,
case when i.id is null then t.status else 'G' end as status,
t.timestamp
from
TABLE t
left outer join irecs i
on t.id = i.id
)
select
id,
status,
timestamp
from
ranked
where
rn = 1;

other solution
with youtableranked as (
select f1.id,
case (select count(*) from yourtable f2 where f2.ID=f1.ID and f2."TIMESTAMP"<f1."TIMESTAMP" and f2.STATUS='I')>0 then 'G' else f1.STATUS end as STATUS,
rownumber() over(partition by f1.id order by f1.TIMESTAMP desc, rrn(f1) desc) rang,
f1."TIMESTAMP"
from yourtable f1
)
select * from youtableranked f0
where f0.rang=1
ANSI SQL has TIMESTAMP as reserved word, so you may need to delimit it as "TIMESTAMP"

Answer 4

try this
select distinct f1.id, f4.*
from yourtable f1
inner join lateral
(
select
case (select count(*) from yourtable f3 where f3.ID=f2.ID and f3."TIMESTAMP"<f2."TIMESTAMP" and f3.STATUS='I')>0 then 'G' else f2.STATUS end as STATUS,
f2."TIMESTAMP"
from yourtable f2 where f2.ID=f3.ID
order by f2."TIMESTAMP" desc, rrn(f2) desc
fetch first rows only
) f4 on 1=1
rrn(f2) order is for same last date
ANSI SQL has TIMESTAMP as reserved word, so you may need to delimit it as "TIMESTAMP"
