如何清除每个项目早于第n个版本的项目的版本

Question

我想从下面的示例表中清除行，以便每个报告的三个最新版本（按名称）保留在表中。

ReportID是唯一标识符。每个名称的CreateDate按照降序对样本中的记录进行排序。

这可以在T-SQL查询中完成，还是我需要设置游标并以某种方式遍历表格？

CREATE TABLE #Reports (
    [ReportID] int
    , [Name] varchar(50)
    , [CreateDate] datetime);

INSERT INTO #Reports (ReportID, [Name], CreateDate)
VALUES (3255, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-28 22:33:28.587'),
(3243, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-26 01:24:34.183'),
(3203, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-19 13:47:48.580'),
(3156, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-13 16:54:01.317'),
(3147, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-13 13:35:02.627'),
(3141, '2018 FTR RE Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-04 13:57:41.427'),
(3248, 'Audit Income Statement', '2017-12-26 22:53:50.067'),
(3246, 'Audit Income Statement', '2017-12-26 17:42:39.227'),
(3244, 'Audit Income Statement', '2017-12-26 17:25:18.477'),
(3099, 'Audit Income Statement', '2017-11-24 15:33:10.333'),
(3091, 'Audit Income Statement', '2017-11-24 14:59:16.283'),
(3252, 'FTR ND Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-28 22:33:28.260'),
(3240, 'FTR ND Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-26 01:24:33.837'),
(3200, 'FTR ND Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-19 13:47:48.267'),
(3153, 'FTR ND Budget Acceptance Report', '2017-12-13 16:54:01.067');

谢谢！

Answer 1

这将保留最后3个版本（更正保留最后3个）

例

;with cte as (
    Select *,RN=Row_Number() over (Partition By Name ORder by CreateDate desc ) from #Reports
)
Delete from cte 
 Where RN>3

Select * from #Reports

更新表
