Question SQL - is it possible
I have a table with the following structure:

trxNo expiryDate remoteTrxNo
445455 2011-06-26 0
445455 2011-02-26 0
445999 2011-07-30 0
445999 2011-03-28 0

There are other columns that make the records unique but they are not relevant to my question, however, they are always in pairs.

I would like to update the remoteTrxNo in all the records in the table with the following logic:

If the expiryDate is the largest of the two possible values, write 'FAR' in the remotetrxNo column, when it is the smallest, write 'NEAR'.

Can this be done in a massive insert? Do I need to split the query in two to do the MAX once, and the MIN on the other update?

I've tried without success to write a query (or two) to accomplish this. I want to avoid writing code that will loop through a resultset one by one.

Any help would be appreciated.

globus-gram-audit

GLOBUS-GRAM-AUDIT(8)						  GRAM5 Commands					      GLOBUS-GRAM-AUDIT(8)

NAME

       globus-gram-audit - Load GRAM4 and GRAM5 audit records into a database

SYNOPSIS

       globus-gram-audit [--conf CONFIG_FILE] [[--create] | [--update=OLD-VERSION]] [--check] [--delete] [--audit-directory AUDITDIR] [--quiet]

DESCRIPTION

       The globus-gram-audit program loads audit records to an SQL-based database. It reads $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf by
       default to determine the audit directory and then uploads all files in that directory that contain valid audit records to the database
       configured by the globus_gram_job_manager_auditing_setup_scripts package. If the upload completes successfully, the audit files will be
       removed.

       The full set of command-line options to globus-gram-audit consist of:

       --conf CONFIG_FILE
			       Use CONFIG_FILE instead of the default from the
			       configuration file for audit database
			       configuration.
       --check
			       Check whether the insertion of a record was
			       successful by querying the database after
			       inserting the records. This is used in tests.
       --delete 	       Delete audit records from the database right
			       after inserting them. This is used in tests to
			       avoid filling the databse with test records.
       --audit-directory DIR   Look for audit records in DIR, instead of looking
			       in the directory specified in the job manager
			       configuration. This is used in tests to control
			       which records are loaded to the database and then
			       deleted.
       --query SQL	       Perform the given SQL query on the audit
			       database. This uses the database information from
			       the configuration file to determine how to
			       contact the database.
       --quiet		       Reduce the amount of output for common
			       operations.

FILES

       The globus-gram-audit uses the following files (paths relative to $GLOBUS_LOCATION.

       etc/globus-gram-job-manager.conf
					  GRAM5 job manager configuration. It includes the
					  default path to the audit directory
       etc/globus-gram-audit.conf
					  Audit configuration. It includes the information
					  needed to contact the audit database.
