Is it possible to "set" values inside case statement during update as below ?
UPDATE TABLE1
CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN SET COL2 = 10, COL3 = 20, COL4 = 30
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN SET COL2 = 1, COL3 = 5, COL4 = 7
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN SET COL2 = 11, COL3 = 13, COL4 = 17
ELSE SET COL2 = 0, COL3 = 0, COL4 = 0
END;
The corresponding valid syntax would be like this.
UPDATE TABLE1 SET
COL2 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 10
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 1
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 11
ELSE 0
END),
COL3 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 20
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 5
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 13
ELSE 0
END),
COL4 = (CASE WHEN COL1 = 'A' THEN 30
WHEN COL1 IN ('B','N') THEN 7
WHEN COL1 = 'D' THEN 17
ELSE 0
END);
Looks like you're trying to do a MERGE, with one exception. You can update the table in a single merge statement as follows, except your logic to update all non-matching rows to 0's.
SQL> create table tab1
(
col1 varchar2(10),
col2 number,
col3 number,
col4 number,
merge_flag char(1)
)
Table created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('A', 10,11,12,null)
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('B', 20,21,22,null)
1 row created.
SQL> insert into tab1 values ('C', 30,31,32,null)
1 row created.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from tab1
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 MERGE_FLAG
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
A 10 11 12
B 20 21 22
C 30 31 32
3 rows selected.
SQL> merge into tab1 t
using (
select 'A' as col1, 10 as col2, 20 as col3, 30 as col4 from dual
union
select 'B' as col1, 1 as col2, 5 as col3, 7 as col4 from dual
union
select 'N' as col1, 1 as col2, 5 as col3, 7 as col4 from dual
union
select 'D' as col1, 11 as col2, 13 as col3, 17 as col4 from dual
) x
on (t.col1 = x.col1)
when matched then
update set t.col2 = x.col2, t.col3 = x.col3, t.col4 = x.col4, t.merge_flag = 'X'
Merge successfully completed.
SQL> commit
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from tab1
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4 MERGE_FLAG
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
A 10 20 30 X
B 1 5 7 X
C 30 31 32
3 rows selected.
You could run a single update after the merge to change all non matching rows with 0.
