This is what my current table looks like. A new ‘status’ column is to be created for each ‘id’ that must have the below 3 values.
1 - If Similar id and only one NULL value
2 - If Similar id and no NULL value
0 - If Similar id and both NULL value
EXAMPLE: Id 2 will get 1, id 3 will be assigned 0 and id 4 will get 2. There can be only 2 similar ids in the id table (there are no 3 values of 2 or 4)
I could find the similar id, but having difficulties writing the cases
select id
from table
group by id
having count(id) = 2

We can determine the status values by using aggregation:
WITH cte AS (
SELECT id,
CASE WHEN COUNT(*) > 1 AND COUNT(CASE WHEN last IS NULL THEN 1 END) = 1
THEN 1
WHEN COUNT(*) > 1 AND COUNT(CASE WHEN last IS NULL THEN 1 END) = 0
THEN 2
WHEN COUNT(*) > 1 AND COUNT(CASE WHEN last IS NULL THEN 1 END) = COUNT(*)
THEN 0 ELSE -1 END AS status
FROM yourTable
GROUP BY id
)
SELECT t1.*, t2.status
FROM yourTable t1
INNER JOIN cte t2
ON t1.id = t2.id;
Note that I assign a status value of -1 to any id
which does not meet one of the three criteria. This would include any id
which only appears once, among other edge cases.
