SQL:Returner revision for poster for hver kolonne

Hvis jeg ikke er gået glip af noget:

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

Grundlæggende er ideen at rangere sammenhængende grupper af identiske værdier og vælge første forekomster af hver værdi. Det gøres for hver kolonne, hvis værdier revideres, og kolonnerne er upivoterede i processen. Bagefter forbindes det ikke-pivoterede rækkesæt til sig selv, dvs. for hvert PK- og kolonnenavn matches hver række med sin forgænger (baseret på rangeringen) for at opnå den gamle værdi i samme række for det endelige resultatsæt.
