loop in sql to update record as per user












0















I have 2 tables in my sql server in 1st table I am saving official holidays(officialHolidays) and in second table I am saving Leave Applied by users(appliedLeave),



I stored all the saturday's and sundays of 2018 in officialHolidays Table




here is one scenerio




I have 2 users



user A Applied a leave from 1 dec 2018 to 10 dec 2018 so leaveApplied for this user is 7 days as 2nd and 9th dec is sunday 8th dec is non working saturday



user B Applied a leave from 1 dec 2018 to 5 dec 2018 so leaveApplied for this user is 4 days as 2nd dec is sunday



And Dec 1 is saturday this saturday is working saturday as per my db but now I am giving this saturday as official holiday, I updated officialHolidays and now I want to update appliedLeave table too so that the LeaveApplied for user A becomes 6 and user B becomes 3



I want to use loops to update the reord of user A then User B



here is my update query



UPDATE officialHolidays SET              
Active = @Active
WHERE OfficialID = @OfficialID


this is what I Tried just now



DECLARE @HolidayDate AS DATE = (SELECT Date FROM officialHolidays WHERE OfficialID = @OfficialID)
IF(EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM AppliedLeave WHERE AppliedFrom BETWEEN @HolidayDate AND @HolidayDate
OR AppliedTo BETWEEN @HolidayDate AND @HolidayDate))
BEGIN
DECLARE @LeaveTaken AS FLOAT
DECLARE @LeaveRemaining AS FLOAT
--I want to add Loop Here
END


how can I add a loop in this scenerio?

    loop in sql = bad idea. Do not use loop when they can be avoided (and most of the time they can be). SQL works best with a set based approach.

  • No you did not. Your IF statement is completely wrong. @HolidayDate is a single, scalar value - using it as both upper and lower boundaries in a between statement is just nonsense. Using floats instead of integers to store simple numbers is not a good sign either.
