SQL Server Recursive Query

Question

A few days ago I asked a question about SO regarding help for a recursive query .

The problem with this question is: "How to get a history of Person appointments."

Now I have a problem like this, but it should answer a slightly different question:

How to get an Appointment history?

For example, if an appointment with identifier = 5 was delayed once, and it was a delay in another meeting, how can I get the following result?

AppointmentID         PrevAppointmentID
-----------------    ----------------------
1                     NULL
5                     1
12                    5

thanks for the help

Update

These scripts will help you create a table for your tests.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Appointments](
    [AppointmentID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [IssueID] [int] NOT NULL,
    [Location] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
    [Description] [varchar](255) NOT NULL,
    [AppointmentDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [AppointmentHour] [datetime] NOT NULL,
    [Done] [bit] NOT NULL,
    [PrevAppointmentID] [int] NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Appointments] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [AppointmentID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

Answer 3

OP:

- DateTime , , "". PK , , "in-effect" ( ). DELETE UPDATE, INSERT, , .

, ,

SELECT *
FROM   Appointments a1
WHERE  EffectiveDate = (SELECT MAX(EffectiveDate)
                        FROM   Appointments a2
                        WHERE  a1.AppointmentId = a2.AppointmentId
                               AND a2.EffectiveDate <= ISNULL(@asOfDate, GETDATE()
                       )

This means that you can also record previous ones . For example, today you are approved for a pay raise, but this will not take effect within 2 weeks.

To find the meeting history, you simply:

SELECT *
FROM   Appointments
WHERE  AppointmentId = @appointmentId
ORDER BY EffectiveDate
