I know I should be able to do this but my brain's mashed today
I have a stock table with
s_stock_no varchar primary key
s_vin varchar
s_updated timestamp
s_superceded boolean
It is possible for the same vin to exist on stock if we have sold and then
bought back a vehicle, e.g. as a part exchange.
Every time a vehicle is inserted/updated the s_updated field is update.
How can I update the table so that for each s_vin, if a record does not have
the most recent s_updated value, s_superceded is set to true?
I can get the most recent value by running:
select * from (select s_vin, count(s_updated) as numb, max(s_updated)::timestamp as latest from stock
groupby s_vin) foo where numb > 1;
but I can't seem to get how I can convert this to an update statement. The num
> 1 simply removed all vehicles with only one record.
I seem to think I need an update..... from..... statement
