Reordering Rows Based On A Condition

Hi,

I have two tables : Students and StuHistory. The structure of the Student table is as follows :


IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[Student]') AND type in (N'U'))
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Student](
[RID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Class] [int] NULL,
[Section] [char](1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[SubSection] [int] NULL,
[RollNo] [int] NULL,
[DesiredRoll] [int] NULL,
[TrackingNo] [int] NULL,
[Original_rollno] [int] NULL,
[StudentStatus] [int] NULL
)
END
GO


A section has subsections where students are allocated rollno's. Every student has a unique roll no in that subsection. However he is also given a choice to enter his desired roll no. If more than one student choose the same desired roll no in that subsection/section, there is a [TrackingNo] field that then starts keeping a count. For the first unique desired roll no in that subsection/section the tracking no is always 0.
[StudentStatus] represents the following : (-1 for deleted, 0 for edited, 1 for newly inserted).

After every fortnight, i have to run a batchquery that does the following:

1. all students marked with -1 are moved to a table called StuHistory which has the same structure as that of Student.

2. Now oncethe -1 status students are moved, there will be a gap in the roll no. I want to reallocate the rollnos now, where rollnos = desired roll no taking into consideration the trackingno


So if 4 students have chosen the desired roll no as 5 and their current roll no is scattered in a subsection lets say 7, 10, 14,16, then while rearranging they will be together(grouped by subsection/section) and will be allocated roll no's 5,6,7,8. The other students will be moved down based on their desired roll nos. Over here i have to also fill the gaps caused because of the students who were deleted.


How do i write query for this? I have been struggling.

I thought of posting this as a new post as it was mixed in the previous post.
