Getting two or more column values through a Cursor SQL Server

Question

I have two tables like this:
Table Experiment (I will just use one roadID (rID) for now)

rID | latBegin |longBegin |latEnd   |longEnd  
041 | 23.875464|-80.456798|30.549879|-83.5465521  
041 | 33.776563|-81.157526|33.248261|-81.2468425 

For each of the above rows I want the cursor to get the rID, latBegin,longBegin and check the distance from the lat and long in
Table ExperimentDetails

rID | lat      |long      |temp |direction|tension    
041 | 33.665632|-81.137952|56.23|L        |54.54      
041 | 23.245632|-80.127952|56.23|L        |23.54  
041 | 23.454555|-80.232456|66.23|L        |13.54  
041 | 23.568763|-80.346586|26.23|L        |63.54  
041 | 23.796545|-80.446586|86.23|L        |83.54   
041 | 23.996545|-80.946586|96.23|L        |22.54   

The steps for the query are:
Step 1: Get latBegin and longBegin for a specific rID from Table Experiment
Step 2: Go to ExperimentDetails and run this calculation to get the distance difference for each lat and long in the Details table

Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000  

Step 3: Get the minimum value for this new associated column in Details Table
Step 4: Get the associated temp,direction, and tension values for that minimum value and place it in a new table (Not done yet> Help needed)
Step 5: Get the average of temp, tension for the previous 30 feet or 360 inches from the min value and place it in another table (columns: rID, latBegin,longBegin,avgTension,avgtemp Not done yet>Help needed)

This is my code so far:

      DECLARE @rID int,@latBegin decimal(15,10),@longBegin decimal(15,10),@minV decimal(15,10),@temp decimal(15,10)

    DECLARE MY_CURSOR CURSOR   
      LOCAL STATIC READ_ONLY FORWARD_ONLY  
    FOR   
    SELECT DISTINCT rid,latbeg,longbeg   
    FROM dbo.Experiment  
    WHERE rID='041'  

    OPEN MY_CURSOR  
    FETCH NEXT FROM MY_CURSOR INTO @rID,@latBegin,@longBegin  
    WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0  
    BEGIN   


        SELECT @minV=Min(Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) over (Partition by rID Order by rID)  
, @temp=temp

        FROM dbo.ExperimentDetails  
            WHERE rid='041'  

        Insert into dbo.Test(rid,lat,lon,min,temp) values   (@rid,@latBegin,@longBegin,@minV,@temp)  



        FETCH NEXT FROM MY_CURSOR INTO @rID,@latBegin,@longBegin  
    END  

    CLOSE MY_CURSOR  
    DEALLOCATE MY_CURSOR

The Test table looks like this:

rID|lat      |long      |min |temp  
041|23.875464|-80.456798|12.1|96.23
041|33.776563|-81.157526|11.0|96.23

The temp data is repeated for the last row, which is not correct

It should look like this:

rID|lat      |long      |min |temp  
041|23.875464|-80.456798|12.1|83.54
041|33.776563|-81.157526|11.0|54.54

I have given as much information as a I could, but if you need more please ask, would appreciate any help, been banging my head on this since yesterday. Currently I'm trying to bring in temp, direction, and tension in addition to @minV, but it does not let me do it

For Step 5: The calculation in the cursor looks like this in theory for Details table:

rID |lat       |long      |temp |DISTDIFF  
041 | 23.245632|-80.127952|56.23|372.12    
041 | 23.454555|-80.232456|66.23|300.22   
041 | 23.568763|-80.346586|26.23|50.48   
041 | 23.796545|-80.446586|86.23|12.10

Then when inserting I check the minimum value i.e. 12.10 and insert the associated values with that row.
For step 5, I need to find the value closest to 360 BEFORE the minimum value not after (there might be other values closer after), which in this case is 372.12 and then take the average of temp like this:

rID |minlat    |minlong   |lastlat  |lastlong  |Avgtemp  
041 | 23.796545|-80.446586|23.245632|-80.127952|58.73

Answer 1

I think I have a solution for you... but!!! IMPORTANT: You are not considering having more than 1 record in DETAIL that equals the Min Value... You also are missing the TENSION column in TEST table

Anyway, to answer your question try replacing this:

SELECT @minV=Min(Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) over (Partition by rID Order by rID)  
, @temp=temp

        FROM dbo.ExperimentDetails  
            WHERE rid='041'  

        Insert into dbo.Test(rid,lat,lon,min,temp) values   (@rid,@latBegin,@longBegin,@minV,@temp)  

With this:

    SELECT @minV=Min(Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) over (Partition by rID) 
    FROM dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid  

   Insert into dbo.Test(rid,lat,lon,min,temp,tension) 
   select rid, @latBegin,@longBegin,@minV,temp,tension from  
   dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid and Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) = @minV 

Good Luck!

---FOR STEP 5 -----

First of all, I will assume that you already have created the other table let's say: Temp360

So, include another 2 variables in the DECLARE zone... let's say: @min360 decimal(15,10) and @avgtemp decimal(15,10)

DECLARE @rID int,@latBegin decimal(15,10),@longBegin decimal(15,10),@minV decimal(15,10),@temp decimal(15,10), @min360 decimal(15,10),@avgtemp decimal(15,10)

then use this code inside your cursor loop:

//part 1... what we already know + JUST getting the AvgTemp 

        SELECT @minV=Min(Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude), @avgtemp = AVG(temp)
        FROM dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid  

       Insert into dbo.Test(rid,lat,lon,min,temp,tension) 
       select rid, @latBegin,@longBegin,@minV,temp,tension from  
       dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid and Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) = @minV 

//part 2... something similar + the Average Temp we already got.

        SELECT @min360=Min(Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) over (Partition by rID) 
        FROM dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid  and 
Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) >=360

       Insert into dbo.Test360(rid,lat,lon,min,avgtemp,tension) 
       select rid, @latBegin,@longBegin,@min360,@avgtemp,tension from  
       dbo.ExperimentDetails  WHERE rid=@rid and Round(Sqrt(POWER((Abs(lat - @latBegin)),2) + POWER((Abs(long - @longBegin)),2)) * 3958.73926185, 4) * 1000,latitude) = @min360
