I have a simple query on a very complex query that reads:
lang-sql
SELECT Query1.Rdate, Query1.Rank, Query1.Score
FROM Query1;
It returns: | RDate | Rank | Score | | ----- | ---- | ----- | |2/1/2022|5|0.9| |2/1/2022|3|0.6| |2/1/2022|1|0.3| |2/1/2022|2|0.8| |2/1/2022|4|0.2| I need a second query that uses this query to return: | RDate | Rank | Score | MinScore | | ----- | ---- | ----- | -------- | |2/1/2022|5|0.9|0.2| |2/1/2022|3|0.6|0.2| |2/1/2022|1|0.3|0.2| |2/1/2022|2|0.8|0.2| |2/1/2022|4|0.2|0.2| where the new column of 0.2 represents the Minimum value of the previous column. I know I can write a query that will return a single column of the value 0.2 and then ANOTHER QUERY to combine that column with my original query. But I have over 200 original queries. I would then end up with over 600 queries. I don't want to go down that path if I can avoid it.
