The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Update with a Select Subquery

Asked by bgarrabrant in MS SQL Server

Tags: update, subquery, select

Hi folks.  I am attempting to update one table with sum aggregates of two other tables joined, where Meta_ID from the two stat tables matches the customer ID from the table I am updating.  Here is my script:

UPDATE gcgmkt.dbo.usr_fulldb_balances
SET gmg_PtsBal = (SELECT cds_statbalance.Meta_ID, ((sum(cds_statsummary.PtsEarned) + sum (cds_statsummary.PromoPtsEarned)) + (sum(cds_statbalance.PtsPromoAdjusted) + sum(cds_statbalance.PtsMgrAdjusted) + sum(cds_statbalance.PtsBalanceForward))) - (sum(cds_statbalance.PtsRedeemed)) as PtsBal
FROM gmgoasissql.WinOasis.dbo.CDS_STATBALANCE as cds_statbalance
    FULL OUTER JOIN gmgoasissql.WinOasis.dbo.CDS_STATSUMMARY as cds_statsummary
    ON cds_statbalance.IDType  = 'P'
      and cds_statsummary.IDType = 'P'
      and cds_statsummary.StatType = 'SLOT'
            and cds_statbalance.Meta_ID = cds_statsummary.Meta_ID
Group By cds_statbalance.Meta_ID)
WHERE gcgmkt.dbo.usr_fulldb_balances.gmg_player_id = Meta_ID

When I run it, I get:

Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Invalid column name 'Meta_ID'.

If I add cds_statsummary in front of the final Meta_ID, I get:

Server: Msg 107, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The column prefix 'cds_statbalance' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.

I get the feeling looking at other posts that I need some sort of additional join operation between the target table and the subquery result set, but it's a bit beyond me.  Help a fella out!  Thanks.
