Sep 12, 2016 at 12:20 comment added Yaneeve Thanks, asked the question: dba.stackexchange.com/questions/149409/…. I must say that the merit of asking a new question is now clear to me since I can see that my proposed solution in the comment above is clearly wrong
Sep 12, 2016 at 11:16 comment added Erwin Brandstetter @Yaneeve: Yes, a new question should really be a new question. Comments are not the place. You can always link to this one for context. and you can get my attention with a comment here. Since the new question is related, linking to it with a comment is useful to the general public, too.
Sep 12, 2016 at 5:57 comment added Yaneeve if you will allow me to add one more layer of complexity (tell me if to spin it off as a new question). Going back to my real life data, I noticed that there is a subtle difference to my override_op_s. override_op_1 cannot override data if its value is 0 and an override_op_2 had been noticed somewhere in the related sequence of events before that. I can think of a heuristic, but I am not sure it would work for all the cases - modify the FILTER such as FILTER (WHERE type = 'override_op_2' OR (type = 'override_op_1' AND value > 0.0))

Sep 11, 2016 at 12:50 comment added Yaneeve seemed to have worked, thanks ever so much. I will analyze my results more in depth and will select your answer when I am done

Sep 11, 2016 at 12:27 comment added Yaneeve Thanks so much Erwin! There is a PK in the original data (it actually is a join on two similar but not identical tables), I had not selected it when I created the table and then I had, also, elided some uninteresting columns when asking the question, but your guess as to the columns presented here is correct. I will attempt to run your solution on the data and report back on the status of the run.
