Question

I have the following composable dml and I cant seem to set it working. Could someone help me point out where I’ve gone wrong?

INSERT INTO order_kit (kit_no, order_id) 
SELECT 
    X.kit_no, 10089 
FROM 
    (
    MERGE INTO kit AS tgt 
    USING
        (SELECT TOP 2 kit_no 
         FROM kit rk, batch rb 
         WHERE rk.study_id = 35 AND 
         rk.batch_id = rb.batch_id AND 
         rb.depot_id = 16 AND 
         rk.treatment = 1 AND 
         rk.status = 1 AND 
         rb.status = 1 AND 
         rb.expiry > CAST(FLOOR(CAST(getdate() AS float)) AS datetime)
         ) AS src ON tgt.kit_no = src.kit_no 
         WHEN MATCHED THEN 
            UPDATE SET status = 6 OUTPUT $action as action, kit_no) AS X

Invalid column name ‘kit_no’. (*on the last line)

The target table ‘order_kit’ of the INSERT statement cannot be on either side of a (primary key, foreign key) relationship when the FROM clause contains a nested INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement. Found reference constraint ‘FK_order_kit_order’.

i managed to resolved this by using

INSERT INTO order_kit (kit_no, order_id) 
SELECT 
    X.kit_no, 10089 
FROM 
    (
    MERGE INTO kit AS tgt 
    USING
        (SELECT TOP 2 kit_no 
         FROM kit rk, batch rb 
         WHERE rk.study_id = 35 AND 
         rk.batch_id = rb.batch_id AND 
         rb.depot_id = 16 AND 
         rk.treatment = 1 AND 
         rk.status = 1 AND 
         rb.status = 1 AND 
         rb.expiry > CAST(FLOOR(CAST(getdate() AS float)) AS datetime)
         ) AS src ON tgt.kit_no = src.kit_no 
         WHEN MATCHED THEN 
            UPDATE SET status = 6 OUTPUT $action as action, **tgt.kit_no**) AS X
