I there a way to differ the filtering field through a Case expression in the Where claus?
ex:
Where
Case
When @StuNum = ''
Then S.SSN = @SSN
Else
S.StuNum = @StuNum
End
And ...
The actual field to filter by differs, but I can't seem to find the right syntax to do this.
Any help is appreciated : )
I know i can do a "IF" using expressions, the question is, can i do a CASE?
Thanks!

Hi, all here,
I have a problem with CASE expression in my SQL staments.
the problem is:
when I tried to just partly update the column a , I used the CASE expression : set a=case when b=null then 'null' end
the result was strange: then all the values for column a turned to null.
so what is the problem tho?
Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance.

I have to use the Case expression in my query, so I search arround the web and got the following: SELECT title, price, Budget = CASE price WHEN price > 20.00 THEN 'Expensive' WHEN price BETWEEN 10.00 AND 19.99 THEN 'Moderate' WHEN price < 10.00 THEN 'Inexpensive' ELSE 'Unknown' END,FROM titles It should run OK base on my research in the internet. But my SQL Server gave me error: syntax error arround '>'.I did several search and many people can use the ">" sign or "<" sign in the Case expression, but I just can't use it in my SQL Server, I can't even use any boolean expression, I can only use values.can anyone help me out? My SQL Server Version is SQL Server 2000 Sevice Pack 4.Thanks!

I am one very frustrated beginner. If it were not for wonderful information in this forum I would have taken early retirement by now!
Table contains information about new and departing computer and phone users in several departments which we support. This is an existing table which I'm trying to clean up.
The essential part:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[HelpDesk_NewUser](
[AutoNumber] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[SubmittedDate] [datetime] NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[Department] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[StartDate] [datetime] NULL,
[DepartDate] [datetime] NULL
[RequestedBy] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[UpdatedBy] [varchar](16) NOT NULL,
[CurrentStatus] [varchar](10) NOT NULL ,
[DateCurrentStatus] [datetime] NULL,
[FormType] [varchar](10) NOT NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]
There can be more than one record per FirstName, LastName. FormType can be N for new or D for departing.
I want to do this for each record:
Read the FormType and Department from the record with the most recent activity (SubmittedDate) for each user
Convert Department to a 4 character department number
Update CurrentStatus with (FormType concatenated with the 4 character dept number) in all records for that user.
I have created another table called UserMostRecent which contains the most recent record for each user.
I have written a query to do this by brute force (read a record, set local variables, update a record), but I would like learn a simpler way to do it. I don't understand the syntax of CASE because it seems to change depending on where it is used.
Here is what I have tried that does not work. Error is "Incorrect syntax near word CASE"
UPDATE HelpDesk_NewUser
SET DateCurrentStatus = b.DateMostRecent,
CurrentStatus = (b.FormType + a.Department
CASE
WHEN 'Roads Department' THEN '3000'
WHEN 'Engineering and Survey Services' THEN '1900'
WHEN 'Waste Management' THEN '8999'
WHEN 'Kern Air Pollution Control District' THEN '9149'
WHEN 'Environmental Health' THEN '4113'
WHEN 'Building Inspection' THEN '2625'
WHEN 'Animal Control' THEN '2760'
WHEN 'Planning Department' THEN '2750'
WHEN 'Community and Economic Development' THEN '5940'
WHEN 'Resource Management Agency' THEN '2730'
WHEN 'Code Compliance' THEN '2620'
WHEN 'Roads Kern Regional Transit' THEN '8998'
END)
FROM HelpDesk_NewUser a JOIN UserMostRecent b
ON (a.LastName = b.LastName and a.FirstName = b.FirstName)
Thank you, forum participants. You are the best!
Is it possible? I have a request to create a stored proc that willdynamically add a range to a WHERE clause based on a numeric value of acomment type. If the incoming comment type request is say 10, thewhere clause needs to be set to IN(10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)OR ifa 20 is passed in the clause would read IN(20,21.....)So I was thinking that a CASE expression within the proc would be thebest way to go, but have had no luck in finding an example or any otherrelated information regarding CASE exp in a proc.TIABill

I'm trying to generate the data for a 2-column table, where both columns are defined as NOT NULL and the second column is a uniqueidentifier.
In SQL Server Management Studio, this works fine:insert into table_3(column_a, column_b)
select table_1.column_a, (case when table_2.column_b is NULL then newid() else table_2.column_b end) as column_b
from table_1 left outer join table_2 on table_1.column_c = table_2.column_c
That is, column_b of the SELECT result has no NULL values, and all 35,986 rows are successfully inserted into a previously empty table_3. (If I comment out the INSERT INTO clause and project table_2.column_b instead of "(case ... end) as column_b", the SELECT result includes 380 rows with a NULL in column_b, so I know the case expression plus the outer join are working as expected.)
But when I use the SELECT query as the SQL command in an OLE DB Source component that is connected directly to the OLE DB Destination for the result table, I get this error:There was an error with input column "column_b" (445) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (420
The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".
And sure enough, when I modify the result table to allow NULL in column_b, truncate it, and re-run the data flow, it inserts the exact same 380 rows with a NULL in column_b among the 35,986 rows.
So what is SSIS doing to screw up the results of the SELECT command???
I have been trying to get the following Selects to work using a case expression in the order by section.

If remove the case statement and put order by "internalID desc" I receive no errors. Moreover, when I take out the union statement and execute the two select statements with each including the case expression it runs as planned.
Can anyone tell what the problem is here? I have combed the web looking for an answer, but it seems that the statement is valid.
Thanks

An error is entered into the table, across two tables - tblErrors_ER and tblPolicyNumbers_ER - each error generates a PK (ErrorID) and can have any number of policy numbers which will be referenced by its own PK but linked to each error by its FK (ErrorID).I want to display each error in a Gridview in ASP.Net - columns included will be ErrorID, ErrorType, DateLogged from tblErrors_ER and PolicyNumber from tblPolicyNumbers_ER.If an Error has more than one policy number I only want to show the error once in the GridView with the word MULTIPLE under policy number.
tblErrors_ER
---------------
CREATE TABLE tblErrors_ER
{
ErrorID int,
ErrorType varchar(255),
DateLogged datetime,
[code]...
I have changed the Count(*) to Count(tblPolicyNumbers_ER.POlicyNUmber) which gives me the same undesired result as above. I have also left it as Count(*) and the entire CASE expression within the GROUP BY statement as suggest above which generated an error saying I can not use an expression in a group by clause.
If I leave Count(*) = 1 where it is in the original SELECT statement but swap the = for > then something happens, close to what I require but not as intended. It returns:
ErrorID ErrorType DateLogged PolicyNumber
---------------------------------------------------------------
1 Test 08/08/2012 Multiple
2 Test 08/08/2012 Multiple
this would suggest the original syntax is close to being accurate but I can not get it to work.
Hi,
I need to pass a lsit of items to a query which will be used using IN clauslike campus_code IN (@CampusCodes) . IF the @CampusCodes is "SD34, FHT34, JK678", the SQL server is not returning any rows back.
If the @CampusCodes is only "SD34", the SQL server is returning rows back as it suould be.
How can fix it so that i can pass more than one value in CampusCodes variable?

I have a rather long and ugly query that joins seven or eight tables, does some aggreagaions and a union.
It takes about a minute to return 300,000 rows. When I add a where condition which uses a non-key integer field it pares the processing down to 20 seconds to get 2,000 rows. However if I add a second non-key integer field to my where claus it takes just under 30 MINUTES to produce a similar result set.
This is so far out of whak that i don't even know where to start to look.

Hi guys,
I have experienced problem while trying to use variable with expression based on several other variables in tasks running parallel.
The details are as following:
There is a SSIS package with simple Control flow: one Script Task which actually do nothing and two Execute Process Tasks, they run after Script Task in parallel. Then there are three simple (EvaluateAsExpression = False) string variables ServerName, Folder and JobNumber with values ServerName = €œ\test€?, Folder = €œtest€? and JobNumber = €œ12345€?. And there is one variable FullPath with expression @[User:: ServerName] + "\" + @[User::Folder] + "_" + @[User::JobNumber]. All the variables are of the Package scope. Then in Execute Process Tasks I have similar expressions based on FullPath variable: Execute Process Task 1 has expression @[User::FullPath] + "\date.bat" and Execute Process Task 2 has @[User::FullPath] + "\time.bat" one. As you understand these expressions define what exactly task should execute.
Then I€™m going to execute package from command line so appropriate XML configuration file has been created. The file contains following values for variables described above: ServerName = €œ\LiveServer€?, Folder = €œJob€? and JobNumber = €œ33091€?.
After series of consequent executions I have got following log file:
€¦ Execute Process Task 1€¦ Executing the process €œ\LiveServerJob_33091date.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 2€¦ Executing the process €œ\Test est_12345 ime.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 1€¦ Executing the process €œ\Test est_12345date.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 2€¦ Executing the process €œ\LiveServerJob_33091 ime.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 1€¦ Executing the process €œ\LiveServerJob_33091date.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 2€¦ Executing the process €œ\Test est_12345 ime.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 1€¦ Executing the process €œ\LiveServerJob_33091date.bat€?
€¦ Execute Process Task 2€¦ Executing the process €œ\LiveServerJob_33091 ime.bat€?
€¦
As you can see one of Execute Process Tasks usually receive correct value of the expression (based on values of variables from the configuration file) while another - incorrect one (based on €œdefault€? values of variables set directly in package). Sometimes wrong value appears in Task 1, next time in Task 2. Situations when both expressions in tasks evaluated correctly are very rare.
Then if you add some more Execute Process Tasks with similar expressions in the package (for ex. simply by copying existing tasks) you€™ll get a good chance to catch error like this:
OnError,,,Execute Process Task 1,,,8/17/2007 2:07:12 PM,8/17/2007 2:07:12 PM,-1073450774,0x,Reading the variable "User::FullPath" failed with error code 0xC0047084.
OnError,,,Execute Process Task 1,,,8/17/2007 2:07:12 PM,8/17/2007 2:07:12 PM,-1073647613,0x,The expression "@[User::FullPath] + "\time.bat"" on property "Executable" cannot be evaluated. Modify the expression to be valid.
Seems variable with expression FullPath is locked during evaluation by one of the parallel tasks in such a way that another task can€™t read it value correctly. Can someone help me with the issue? Maybe there are some options I missed which could prevent such behavior of application? Please let me know how I can make the package work correctly.
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to have a where clause (or other method) where you only select the max value from this: SUM(ORDER_ITEM.ItemQuantity) and only output that 1 row... or even perhaps a range of rows... in others words... find the ItemID with the greatest combined Quantity
Heres the query so far:
SELECT ORDER_ITEM.ItemID, SUM(ORDER_ITEM.ItemQuantity) AS 'Max'
FROM ORDER_ITEM
GROUP BY ORDER_ITEM.ItemID
Thx for reading :-)

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie to SSIS and looking for answer to a simple search/replace style question.
I am building a derived column and looking for some expression syntax that can search for several strings in one column and set a value in a new column.
A bit like a case statement:
CASE ProductLine
WHEN 'R1' THEN 'Road'
WHEN 'M1' THEN 'Mountain'
WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring'
WHEN 'S1' THEN 'Other sale items'
ELSE 'Not for sale'
END,
The twist is that 'R1','M1','T1','S1' could feature anywhere in the string that is ProductLine.
Thanks for all your help,
regards,
Chris
Hi guys,
I am looking for some syntax to help me with a traditional search/replace style requirement. I am wanting to examine the contents of one column and populate another.
similar to this SQL case statement
CASE ProductLine

WHEN 'T1' THEN 'Touring'
WHEN 'S2' THEN 'Other sale items'
ELSE 'Not for sale'
END,
the twist is that R1, M1 etc. can appear anywhere in the ProductLine column.
thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'.
which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.

Over time I found out that switching to a server that is not case sensative still caused my data to become case sensative. I read an article that said you should rebuild your master database then re-create your tables. So after rebuilding the master database, a basic restore would not be sufficient? I would have to go and manually re-create every single table again?
Any suggestions?
