Update SQL Table based on column values

I have a large set of data that needs to be updated based on price. Very simply, the price of an item in Code/Size 1 must be equal to or less than the Code/Size 2. Code/Size 2 must be equal to or less than Code/Size 3, and so on:

Item       Code   Size  Price   
-------------------------------
66227019    OTH     1   $466
66227019    OTH     2   $486
66227019    OTH     3   $476
66227019    OTH     4   $537

66227019    IVC     1   $458
66227019    IVC     2   $428
66227019    IVC     3   $458
66227019    IVC     4   $458

Must look like:

Item       Code   Size  Price   
-------------------------------
66227019    OTH     1   $466
66227019    OTH     2   $486
66227019    OTH     3   $486
66227019    OTH     4   $537

66227019    IVC     1   $458
66227019    IVC     2   $458
66227019    IVC     3   $458
66227019    IVC     4   $458

I've tried some self-joins and I'm basically losing my mind. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks!

Supposing t is your table's name:

update t set price=p
from (
  select nxt.item i,nxt.code c,nxt.size s,max(cur.price) p
  from t cur join t nxt 
  on (cur.item=nxt.item and cur.code=nxt.code 
   and cur.size<nxt.size and cur.price>nxt.price)
  group by nxt.item,nxt.code,nxt.size      
  ) a
where item=i and code=c and size=s

answer is Recursive CTE. not depends on the SQL SERVER version.

    DECLARE @t TABLE
    (
        item        INT
        ,code       sysname
        ,SIZE       INT
        ,price      INT
    )
    INSERT INTO @t( item, code, SIZE, price )
                SELECT 1,'oth',1,466
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'oth',2,486
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'oth',3,476
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'oth',4,537

    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'ivc',1,458
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'ivc',2,428
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'ivc',3,458
    UNION ALL   SELECT 1,'ivc',4,458

    SELECT * FROM @t

    ;WITH cte1 (item,code,size,price,rownum1,rownum2)
    AS
    (
        SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY item,code ORDER BY item,code,SIZE) AS rownum1, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY item,code,SIZE) AS rownum2
        FROM @t
    ),  
    cte2 (item,code,size,price,rownum1,rownum2)
    AS
    (
        SELECT *
        FROM cte1 t1
        WHERE rownum2=1

        UNION ALL

        SELECT t1.item,t1.code,t1.size
                ,CASE   WHEN t1.price>=t2.price THEN t1.price 
                        WHEN t1.price<t2.price THEN t2.price
                END AS proce
                ,t1.rownum1,t1.rownum2
        FROM cte2 t2
        JOIN cte1 t1
            ON t2.rownum2+1=t1.rownum2
    )
    SELECT item,code,size,price FROM cte2

For SQL-Server 2012, you can use this:

; WITH cte AS
( SELECT *,
         MaxPrice = MAX(Price) 
                    OVER (PARTITION BY Item, Code
                          ORDER BY Size
                          ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING
                                   AND 1 PRECEDING
                         ) 
  FROM Products
) 
UPDATE cte
SET Price = MaxPrice
WHERE Price < MaxPrice ;

Does this get you what you need?

UPDATE LaterRec
SET Price = PrevRec.Price
FROM Data AS LaterRec
    INNER JOIN Data AS PrevRec ON LaterRec.Item = PrevRec.Item AND LaterRec.Code = PrevRec.Code AND PrevRec.Size < LaterRec.Size
WHERE
        PrevRec.Price > LaterRec.Price
    -- Disregard this entry if there's a record *between* PrevRec and LaterRec
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Data AS Intrmdt WHERE LaterRec.Item = Intrmdt.Item AND LaterRec.Code = Intrmdt.Code AND Intrmdt.Size > PrevRec.Size AND Intrmdt.Size < LaterRec.Size)
