Dear Monks,

I wish to go down all the rows of a table and, from a single column, take the values one by one and check if this value is found between two values from two additional columns in another table. If it is, I wish to assign the value 1 to the column of a third table that has a row occurring for each of the initial values. The value that I am initially extracting can be sorted. The between range values are situated in the second table and can overlap.

In other words

(using tables from which I have removed some collumns),

I wish to take values from table 1:

Table 1: 


CREATE TABLE ICD_9 (
        ICD_9 VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL, /*Unique values taken from here*/ 
+   
)

Look for these values in table 2: 
CREATE TABLE ICD_specifications_for_disease (                         
+                                     Range_key int NOT NULL,
    Disease_or_health_catagory VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
    ICD_catagory int NOT NULL,  
    ICD_start VARCHAR(5) NULL,   /*between this value and */
       ICD_end VARCHAR(5) NULL,     /* and this value */              
+                                              Date_created TIMESTAMP 
+NOT NULL,
       PRIMARY KEY (Range_Key)
)

/* This table needs to be built from the previous two */ 
CREATE TABLE ICD_9_Disease_Types (
          ICD_9_code VARCHAR(4) NOT NULL, /* same as first collumn in 
+table 1*/
          CHD int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Circulatory_Disease int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          All_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Lung_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Breast_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Cervical_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Colorectal_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Skin_Cancer int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Respiratory_Disease int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          COPD int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
          Stroke int DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL
)

I am using MS SQL Server. Does anyone kindly have any tips or code?
