,DATEADD(dd,-1,LEAD.START_DATE) EXPECTED_END_DATE ,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY START_DATE ASC) RowVersion WITH M圜TE (ID, START_DATE, END_DATE, RowVersion) The trick is to use the Row_Number function that partitions the data set by ID, and then use that resulting column in a self-join: Now, I need a query where I can see, in the same row, the END_DATE of that row and the START_DATE of the next one (order by START_DATE ASC). Insert into LEADTEST values (400, '', NULL ) Insert into LEADTEST values (300, '', '') Insert into LEADTEST values (300, '', NULL) Insert into LEADTEST values (200, '', NULL) Insert into LEADTEST values (100, '', '') Insert into LEADTEST values (100, '', NULL ) The way I solved this issue today was via self join embedded in a common table expression and using the Row_Number() as part of the join clause:Ĭreate table LEADTEST (ID int, START_DATE datetime, END_DATE datetime) So, how do you compare column values from adjacent rows? There are several ways, but you would always end up with self joins and/or sub queries. In my scenario, the logic dictates that the end dates should be calculated using the start date of the next version (subtracting a day), and that implies comparing the values of 2 columns from adjacent rows. When you model a dimension as slowly changing dimension type 2, the current row must be expired when a new version arrives. Today, I had to write some queries to test that a data transformation processppp l that someone else wrote, was calculating the end date of each row correctly in a type 2 dimension. But, for me it is a big deal as I have used them extensively in the past (when working on non-SQL Server databases obviously) to profile data, or to test the results of the ETL process. If you have always written queries in SQL Server, then you may have not missed such type of functions. You may already know that there are justa few functions in SQL Server 20 that support the OVER clause, and sadly Lead() and Lag() are some of the missing ones.

We will use data from the previous article for demonstration of SQL Server Lag function as well:Īs an MCSA certified and Microsoft Certified Trainer in Gurgaon, India, with 13 years of experience, Rajendra works for a variety of large companies focusing on performance optimization, monitoring, high availability, and disaster recovery strategies and implementation. By default, it uses ascending order to sort data ORDER BY: We can sort data in ascending or descending order using ORDER by clause. We can create a partition quarterly and do the computation. For example, sales data for an organization might contain data for several years. Suppose we have an extensive data set and we require calculations on a smaller set of data, we can define partitions for it. PARTITION BY: It creates a logical boundary of data. If we do not specify any value for this, the lag function displays NULL in the output for out of range values It displays the default value if specified. A lag function cannot go three rows behind.
For example, we specified offset value 3 for the first row. It is an optional argumentĭefault: Suppose we define an offset, value that does not lie in the boundary of the data. The default value for this argument is one.
The lag function uses this argument forgo behind the number of rows (offset). Offset: We define an integer number in this argument. It is a mandatory argument, and we cannot execute the lag function without this The lag function does calculations on this column. Scalar_expression: We define a column name or expression in this argument.
