SQL:Retourcontrole voor records voor elke kolom

Als ik niets heb gemist:

WITH ranked AS (
  SELECT
    ChangeDate,
    ColPK,
    Col1,
    Col2,
    Col3,
    Col4,

Kortom, het idee is om aaneengesloten groepen van identieke waarden te rangschikken en de eerste exemplaren van elke waarde te kiezen. Dat wordt gedaan voor elke kolom waarvan de waarden worden gecontroleerd, en de kolommen worden tijdens het proces ongedaan gemaakt. Daarna wordt de niet-gedraaide rijset aan zichzelf gekoppeld, d.w.z. voor elke PK en kolomnaam wordt elke rij gekoppeld aan zijn voorganger (op basis van de rangorde) om de oude waarde in dezelfde rij voor de uiteindelijke resultaatset te verkrijgen.
