从 Azure SQL DW 中更新？

Question

我在尝试执行 UPDATE FROM 查询时在 Azure SQL DW 中收到错误。错误是“UPDATE 和 DELETE 语句中的 FROM 子句不能包含子查询源或联接”

这只是 SQL DW 特有的吗？除此之外，我认为这个查询没有任何问题。如果这是 SQL DW 的限制，有什么替代方案？

-- Permanent fact table with 5 billion rows
CREATE TABLE FactTable (Id1 INT, Id2 INT, EmailAddress NVARCHAR(100), Value1 INT)
WITH (DISTRIBUTION = HASH(EmailAddress));

-- Staging fact table with 10 million rows    
CREATE TABLE StageTable (Id1 INT, Id2 INT, EmailAddress NVARCHAR(100), Value1 INT)
WITH (DISTRIBUTION = HASH(EmailAddress), HEAP);

-- Add a secondary index that should help with joining to StageTable
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ix ON FactTable (Id1, Id2);

UPDATE fact
SET
   Value1 = CASE WHEN stage.Value1 > fact.Value1 THEN stage.Value1 ELSE fact.Value1 END
FROM FactTable AS fact
INNER JOIN StageTable AS stage ON fact.Id1 = stage.Id1 AND fact.Id2 = stage.Id2

根据文档， Azure SQL 数据仓库确实支持UPDATE但不支持FROM子句中的 ANSI 连接。您可以使用 CTAS 来解决此问题。简单的两表更新：

UPDATE dbo.FactTable
SET
   Value1 = CASE WHEN stage.Value1 > dbo.FactTable.Value1 THEN stage.Value1 ELSE dbo.FactTable.Value1 END
FROM dbo.StageTable AS stage
WHERE dbo.FactTable.Id1 = stage.Id1 
  AND dbo.FactTable.Id2 = stage.Id2;

使用 CTAS 的更复杂示例，从主 UPDATE 文档页面批量复制：

-- Create an interim table
CREATE TABLE CTAS_acs
WITH (DISTRIBUTION = ROUND_ROBIN)
AS
SELECT  ISNULL(CAST([EnglishProductCategoryName] AS NVARCHAR(50)),0)    AS [EnglishProductCategoryName]
,       ISNULL(CAST([CalendarYear] AS SMALLINT),0)                      AS [CalendarYear]
,       ISNULL(CAST(SUM([SalesAmount]) AS MONEY),0)                     AS [TotalSalesAmount]
FROM    [dbo].[FactInternetSales]       AS s
JOIN    [dbo].[DimDate]                 AS d    ON s.[OrderDateKey]             = d.[DateKey]
JOIN    [dbo].[DimProduct]              AS p    ON s.[ProductKey]               = p.[ProductKey]
JOIN    [dbo].[DimProductSubCategory]   AS u    ON p.[ProductSubcategoryKey]    = u.[ProductSubcategoryKey]
JOIN    [dbo].[DimProductCategory]      AS c    ON u.[ProductCategoryKey]       = c.[ProductCategoryKey]
WHERE   [CalendarYear] = 2004
GROUP BY
        [EnglishProductCategoryName]
,       [CalendarYear]
;

-- Use an implicit join to perform the update
UPDATE  AnnualCategorySales
SET     AnnualCategorySales.TotalSalesAmount = CTAS_ACS.TotalSalesAmount
FROM    CTAS_acs
WHERE   CTAS_acs.[EnglishProductCategoryName] = AnnualCategorySales.[EnglishProductCategoryName]
AND     CTAS_acs.[CalendarYear]               = AnnualCategorySales.[CalendarYear]
;

--Drop the interim table
DROP TABLE CTAS_acs
;
