347 BB 8.9 0

348 AA 6.3 0

349 BB 1.1 0

350 AA 2.1 0

351 BB 3.8 0

352 BB 9.7 0

353 BB 10.0 0

354 BB 12.7 0

355 CC 4.8 0

356 DD 23.7 0

357 DD 24.4 0

358 EE 7.8 0

359 CC 9.2 0

360 CC 4.1 0

This table is the out put just after the insertion process.
I would like to find the third and fourth cheapest(minimum) values of each item and update the corresponding "status" column value to 1 as shown below.

id name price status

345 AA 5.5 1

346 AA 3.2 0

347 BB 8.9 1

348 AA 6.3 1

349 BB 1.1 0

350 AA 2.1 0

351 BB 3.8 0

352 BB 9.7 1

353 BB 10.0 0

354 BB 12.7 0

355 CC 4.8 0

356 DD 23.7 0

357 DD 24.4 0

358 EE 7.8 0

359 CC 9.2 1

360 CC 4.1 0

If anyone has idea about this kindly help me......

Here I build a Query for get first and second minimum values of each group. If you can integrate it for third and fourth. I will try my best to find the correct answer asap. Till that you also can try.

select FinalRate,ItemName FROM
CMStblItems
where (
select count(*) from CMStblItems as f
where f.ItemName = CMStblItems.ItemName and f.FinalRate <= CMStblItems.FinalRate
) <=2;
