I am looking to combine these 2 statement into one to run as a stored procedure if possible. I have not used temp tables in queries before and may have to with this, not sure asking advice. I did not write the original queries and manually run the first one which returns a table listing ID's with duplicate data nad how many records. Then each record ID is put into the 2nd query to remove all but the TOP 1 based on additional filtering criteria.
I have looked at using CTE from SQL select into delete DIRECTLY but am stil at a loss on how to pass each result row ID value into the delete query.
The queries, edited for public consumption are
SELECT id, count() FROM [DEV].[dbo].[7dtest] where FileVer = 1 and CALC_DATE > FORMAT(DATEADD(DD,-7,GETDATE()), 'yyyy-MM-dd') group by id having count() > 1 order by count(*) desc
returns a table with id and number of duplicate rows then take the id of each row and put into this delete statement
delete from [DEV].[dbo].[7dtest] where AutoID not in ( SELECT TOP 1 AutoID FROM [DEV].[dbo].[7dtest] where FileVer = 1 and id = '123' and CALC_DATE > FORMAT(DATEADD(DD,-7,GETDATE()), 'yyyy-MM-dd') order by COMPLETED_DATE_CHECK_3 desc, COMPLETED_DATE_CHECK_2 desc, COMPLETED_DATE_CHECK_1 desc) and FileVer = 1 and id = '123' and CALC_DATE > FORMAT(DATEADD(DD,-7,GETDATE()), 'yyyy-MM-dd')
Can this be done with CTE or do I need to create a temp table and some looping to get the ID one row at a time? Is there a better way I should be doing this?
TIA
