set column value based on distinct values in another column - sql

Question

I am trying to do something very similar to this question: mysql - UPDATEing row based on other rows
I have a table, called modset, of the following form:
member year y1 y2 y3 y1y2 y2y3 y1y3 y1y2y3
a 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
a 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
a 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
b 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
b 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
c 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
c 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
d 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Columns 3:9 are binary flags to indicate which combination of years the member has records in. So I wish the result of an SQL update to look as follows:
member year y1 y2 y3 y1y2 y2y3 y1y3 y1y2y3
a 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
a 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
a 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
b 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
b 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
c 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
c 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
d 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
The code in the question linked above does something very close but only when it is a count of the distinct years in which the member has records. I need to base the columns on the specific values of the years in which the member has records.
Thanks in advance!
SOLUTION
SELECT member,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 1 and max(distinct(year)) = 1 then 1 else 0 end y1,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 1 and max(distinct(year)) = 2 then 1 else 0 end y1y2,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 1 and max(distinct(year)) = 3 and count(distinct(year)) = 2 then 1 else 0 end y1y3,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 1 and max(distinct(year)) = 3 and count(distinct(year)) = 3 then 1 else 0 end y1y2y3,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 2 and max(distinct(year)) = 2 then 1 else 0 end y2,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 2 and max(distinct(year)) = 3 then 1 else 0 end y2y3,
case when min(distinct(year)) = 3 then 1 else 0 end y3
INTO temp5
FROM modset
GROUP BY member;
UPDATE modset M
SET y1 = T.y1, y2 = T.y1, y3 = T.y3, y1y2 = T.y1y2, y1y3 = T.y1y3, y2y3 = T.y2y3, y1y2y3 = T.y1y2y3
FROM temp5 T
WHERE T.member = M.member;

Answer 1

What is the query you are using to return the indicators of the years the member has records in?
It sounds like you would want take your query results and use it in your update:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/update.html
It may look something like this:
UPDATE targetTable t, sourceTable s
SET t.y1 = s.y1, t.y2 = s.y2 -- (and so on...)
WHERE t.member = s.member AND t.year = m.year;
