Re: New to SQL Analytics and need help

You have to lead LAG instead of LEAD

To update, if you have few rows then this will work fine -

begin
 for rec in
 (
   select lead(old_loc) over (partition by id order by operation_dt) a, rowid rid

   from tab_name
 )
 loop

    update tab_name set new_loc = rec.a where rowid = rid  end loop;
end;

But if you have too many rows and performance is an issue then use merge command as given here -
