假设这是一个简单的案例,即县法规取代州法规,而不管所涉及的价值如何:
declare @Regulations as Table ( RegulationId Int Identity, RegId Int, State VarChar(2),
County VarChar(16), RegulationName VarChar(16), Regulation VarChar(16) );
insert into @Regulations ( RegId, State, County, RegulationName, Regulation ) values
( 1, 'CA', NULL, 'weight', '10 pounds' ),
( 1, 'CA', NULL, 'distance', '20 miles' ),
( 2, 'CA', 'Orange', 'distance', '22 miles' ),
( 3, 'NY', NULL, 'weight', '1 stone' ),
( 4, 'NY', 'NYC', 'weight', '16 grams' ),
( 5, 'ND', NULL, 'shoe size', '9E' );
select * from @Regulations;
-- Start with all of the explicitly stated regulations.
select RegId, State, County, RegulationName, Regulation, 'Explicit' as [Type]
from @Regulations
union all
-- Then add all of the missing county level regulations.
select L.RegId, L.State, C.County, L.RegulationName, L.Regulation, 'Implicit'
from @Regulations as L cross join
( select distinct County, State from @Regulations where County is not NULL ) as C left outer join
@Regulations as R on R.State = L.State and R.County = C.County and R.RegulationName = L.RegulationName
-- Where the regulation applies at the state level (L.County is NULL) and
-- there is no matching county level row (R.County is NULL from the LEFT OUTER JOIN).
where L.County is NULL and R.County is NULL and C.State = L.State
order by State, County, RegulationName;
