Lets say John Smith is in the table 11/7/2012 and 10/7/2012. I want to append the newest date to the file. How would I do that?


update a set
       a.date_added = m.date
from append.dbo.[100_K021034571] a
join main.rez.NEWCONNECTS m
       on SOUNDEX(a.ln) = SOUNDEX(m.ln)
       and SOUNDEX(a.fn) = SOUNDEX(m.fn)
       and left(a.addr,10) = left(m.addr,10)
       and a.zip = m.zip

update a set
a.date_added = case WHEN m.date > a.date_added THEN m.date ELSE a.date_added end
from append.dbo.[100_K021034571] a
join main.rez.NEWCONNECTS m
on SOUNDEX(a.ln) = SOUNDEX(m.ln)
and SOUNDEX(a.fn) = SOUNDEX(m.fn)
and left(a.addr,10) = left(m.addr,10)
and a.zip = m.zip

i'm sorry, probably didnt explain that well. basically say we have 1 entry in the append.dbo.[100_K021034571] (date is currently NULL) table, but i have 2 entries in the main.rez.NEWCONNECTS table. one from 11/7/2012, and another from 10/7/2012. i basically wanna ensure that append.dbo.[100_K021034571].Date_added = 11/7/2012, and it doesnt use 10/7/2012 instead. make sense?

from main.rez.NEWCONNECTS
)
update a set
a.date_added = c.[date]
from append.dbo.[100_K021034571] a
join cte c
on SOUNDEX(a.ln) = SOUNDEX(c.ln)
and SOUNDEX(a.fn) = SOUNDEX(c.fn)
and left(a.addr,10) = left(c.addr,10)
and a.zip = c.zip
AND c.rn = 1
