Moim zdaniem jest to świetne wykorzystanie MERGE i wyjścia. Używałem go w kilku scenariuszach i do tej pory nie doświadczyłem żadnych dziwności. Na przykład tutaj jest konfiguracja testowa, która klonuje folder i wszystkie znajdujące się w nim pliki (tożsamość) do nowo utworzonego folderu (guid).
DECLARE @FolderIndex TABLE (FolderId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY, FolderName varchar(25));
INSERT INTO @FolderIndex
(FolderId, FolderName)
VALUES(newid(), 'OriginalFolder');
DECLARE @FileIndex TABLE (FileId int identity(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, FileName varchar(10));
INSERT INTO @FileIndex
(FileName)
VALUES('test.txt');
DECLARE @FileFolder TABLE (FolderId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, FileId int, PRIMARY KEY(FolderId, FileId));
INSERT INTO @FileFolder
(FolderId, FileId)
SELECT FolderId,
FileId
FROM @FolderIndex
CROSS JOIN @FileIndex; -- just to illustrate
DECLARE @sFolder TABLE (FromFolderId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, ToFolderId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER);
DECLARE @sFile TABLE (FromFileId int, ToFileId int);
-- copy Folder Structure
MERGE @FolderIndex fi
USING ( SELECT 1 [Dummy],
FolderId,
FolderName
FROM @FolderIndex [fi]
WHERE FolderName = 'OriginalFolder'
) d ON d.Dummy = 0
WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT
(FolderId, FolderName)
VALUES (newid(), 'copy_'+FolderName)
OUTPUT d.FolderId,
INSERTED.FolderId
INTO @sFolder (FromFolderId, toFolderId);
-- copy File structure
MERGE @FileIndex fi
USING ( SELECT 1 [Dummy],
fi.FileId,
fi.[FileName]
FROM @FileIndex fi
INNER
JOIN @FileFolder fm ON
fi.FileId = fm.FileId
INNER
JOIN @FolderIndex fo ON
fm.FolderId = fo.FolderId
WHERE fo.FolderName = 'OriginalFolder'
) d ON d.Dummy = 0
WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT ([FileName])
VALUES ([FileName])
OUTPUT d.FileId,
INSERTED.FileId
INTO @sFile (FromFileId, toFileId);
-- link new files to Folders
INSERT INTO @FileFolder (FileId, FolderId)
SELECT sfi.toFileId, sfo.toFolderId
FROM @FileFolder fm
INNER
JOIN @sFile sfi ON
fm.FileId = sfi.FromFileId
INNER
JOIN @sFolder sfo ON
fm.FolderId = sfo.FromFolderId
-- return
SELECT *
FROM @FileIndex fi

fi.FileId = ff.FileId

ff.FolderId = fo.FolderId
