I have an existing table I have created and I would like to alter my table by creating a new calculated column which will obtain the max date by ID.
Multiple times a day, new data will flow into the table from a form input (web app). Every time the ID and datestamp are entered into the database, I would like the calculated column to update.
I created my table to interact with Powerapps web form:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test_table2](
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[datestamp] [date] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [tableId] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I have tried to create a column with something like this.....
SELECT id, datestamp FROM (
SELECT id, datestamp,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY datestamp DESC) max_date_id
FROM test_table2
) where max_date_id = 1
I ultimately would like to alter the table so it updates automatically, but this code is just a query and also does not work. How can I achieve this?
