I have a table in my Database which contains the punch time of Employee, I want to update the reader mode column of the
table with the values (I or O) according to the swipe_datetime of the Employee.

the issue is that the when the first swipe_datetime of the employee should be considered as reader_mode I
while the next should be considered as O

I am attaching a sample data along with this so that you can provide me the correct sql query.

I hope I will get the answer very soon.

Thanks in Advance for the help.

SELECT GETDATE()-0.010 , NULL union all
