DB2 - 有没有一种简单的方法来获取"previous valid value"？

Question

我不确定将问题称为"以前的有效值"是否合适。事情是这样的：

我有一个表"A"：

create table A (
  name varchar(16),
  performanceDate date,
  value int
);

名称和性能日期都是主键。

有一个过程将每天为每个用户插入数据。因此，数据将如下所示：

select * from A;
|------+-----------------+-------|
| name | performanceDate | value |
|------+-----------------+-------|
| Joe  |      2012-05-18 | null  |
| Joe  |      2012-05-17 | 2     |
| Joe  |      2012-05-16 | null  |
| Joe  |      2012-05-15 | null  |
| Joe  |      2012-05-14 | 3     |
|------+-----------------+-------|

目前，我想获得一个性能的结果集日期介于 2012-05-16 和 2012-05-18 之间 如果当前日期的值为 null，则应将其替换为以前的有效值。 例如，2012-05-16 的值为 null，2012-05-16 之前的第一个有效值在 2012-05-14 上3。 这样，结果如下所示：

|------+-----------------+-------|
| name | performanceDate | value |
|------+-----------------+-------|
| Joe  |      2012-05-18 |     2 |
| Joe  |      2012-05-17 |     2 |
| Joe  |      2012-05-16 |     3 |
|------+-----------------+-------|

到目前为止，我计划先将数据插入临时表中(因为表"A"对我来说是只读的(，然后逐个更新值。 但这种方式非常缓慢。 你对此有什么想法吗？

Answer 1

您可以使用 LATERAL JOIN，DB2 尚未在 SQLFiddle 上，以下是它在 SQL Server 中的等效项。LATERAL 等同于 SQL Server 的 APPLY：

select x.name, x.performanceDate, coalesce(x.value, y.value) as value
from tbl x
outer apply 
( 
  -- find nearest
  select top 1 value
  from tbl
  where 
    x.value is null
    and 
    (
       name = x.name
       and value is not null 
       and performanceDate < x.performanceDate 
    )
  order by performanceDate desc
) as y
order by x.name, x.performanceDate desc

数据：

| NAME |            PERFORMANCEDATE |  VALUE |
|------|----------------------------|--------|
|  Joe | May, 18 2012 08:00:00-0700 | (null) |
|  Joe | May, 17 2012 08:00:00-0700 |      2 |
|  Joe | May, 16 2012 08:00:00-0700 | (null) |
|  Joe | May, 15 2012 08:00:00-0700 | (null) |
|  Joe | May, 14 2012 08:00:00-0700 |      3 |

输出：

| NAME |            PERFORMANCEDATE | VALUE |
|------|----------------------------|-------|
|  Joe | May, 18 2012 08:00:00-0700 |     2 |
|  Joe | May, 17 2012 08:00:00-0700 |     2 |
|  Joe | May, 16 2012 08:00:00-0700 |     3 |
|  Joe | May, 15 2012 08:00:00-0700 |     3 |
|  Joe | May, 14 2012 08:00:00-0700 |     3 |

基于 IBM 文档.. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fdb2%2Frbafztabref.htm

.

.，我希望这是：

select x.name, x.performanceDate, coalesce(x.value, y.value) as value
from tbl x,
lateral 
( 
  -- find nearest
  select top 1 value
  from tbl
  where 
    x.value is null
    and 
    (
       name = x.name
       and value is not null 
       and performanceDate < x.performanceDate 
    )
  order by performanceDate desc
  fetch first 1 rows only
) as y
order by x.name, x.performanceDate desc
