Hi!
I have a question about the "Decode" funktion. is it only avaiable in Oracle? The reason for my question is that I need to SELECT a colum in a table based on a int value. So if the uservalue is lower then that take that colum, lower then that take colum...etc.
Can I use decode? or/and is there better funktion (I'm using MS SQL 2005)
Thanks in advance

In Oracle we have expression
SELECT
.....
DECODE (T.LANGUAGE, 'E', T.DESC_ENG, T.DESC)
FROM
TABLE T
if acts like that :
if T.LANGUAGE = 'E' it returns T.DESC_ENG. If it is different - T.DESC.
Is there some way to make the same in MS SQL Server ?
I have to run a query to give a column a value based on a time range. Can Iuse DECODE?select decode(trans_date, trans_date>='01-Jul-2002' andtrans_date<='30-Jun-2003','Fiscal2002', .....) as fiscal,from. . .where. . .

Is there any way to replicate the decode function in SQL Server 7.0? I have a problem where I have to write a query such that if the value in a column is '0' , I need to output it as 'No' and if it is '1', I need to output it as 'Yes'. An example of my problem is as follows:
select col_1+","+(value 'No' if col_2='0' and 'Yes' if col_2='1')+
","+col_3+...........
I appreciate your help in advance.
thanks,
Sravan.
Hi
I have oracle statement and I want to translate it in SQL Server:
select DECODE(count(bid_Vendor), 1, NULL, COUNT(BID_VENDOR))
from bid_total
I tried it this way:
Select case(count(bid_vendor) when 1 then null else count(bid_vendor)end) as cs from bid_total
It gave me error i.e.
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'when'
Hello,
I need to do the following:
Lets say we have the following table.
A B C
1 XYZ XYZ
100
Now if the value of a is "100" then i need to do a join and get a value from another table, else I put the value of b a "test"
I am trying to do this using case
like this
select case
(when a = 100 then (select col from ....where newtable.id = a.id
else "test"
end) as xyz
from a,b,other tables.
But the problem is that the subquery returns more than one row..(it should return one row)
How do I do this?
hi i have a view in oracle. in that i am using decode function.
same query i want to write it in sqlserver. what it is the alternate
to decode.
this is a cross tab query
SELECT code, SUM(DECODE(field1, 4, Present_Value, 0)) AS c1, SUM(DECODE(field1, 5, Present_Value, 0)) AS c2,
SUM(DECODE(field1, 6, Present_Value, 0)) AS c3,SUM(DECODE(field1, 9, Present_Value, 0)) AS c4
FROM (SELECT field1,Code, Present_Value FROM table1) DERIVEDTBL GROUP BY code
thanks

Hi,I have two questions, firstly..
I am hoping there is a way to GROUP BY on a concatenated output like the following decode etc..
SELECT
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'','Reasons not entered',PRIM_REASN)
|| ' '
||SECDY_REASN
|| ' '
|| TERT_REASN) Downtime_Reasons,
EVENT_DUR/60 Minutes
FROM
DOWNTIME_WEB
WHERE
DOWNTIME_WEB.TIMESTAMP>= (SELECT PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME
FROM PRODN_SHIFT
WHERE
PRODN_SHIFT.START_DATIME <=sysdate
AND PRODN_SHIFT.END_DATIME > sysdate)
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.STATUS_TEXT) = 'STOPPED'
AND
TRIM(DOWNTIME_WEB.WORK_CTR_NAME) = 'PACK2'
ORDER BY DOWNTIME_WEB.EVENT_DUR
I have tried to put the DECODE etc into the GROUP BY statement but I get an error - " not a valid GROUP BY clause"
Secondly, is there a way of modifying value in field A based on the value in field B
Erroneous example follows - in an effort to explain what I want to do (from above):
DECODE(PRIM_REASN,'',(DECODE(EVENT_DUR,<200,"Low",>200,"High"),PRIM_REASN)
ie:If PRIM_REASN is null I want EVENT_DUR to be tested to determine the new value for PRIM_REASN.
Except that tthe above won't work and I don't know what the right function/argument should be..
This is my first foray into SQL server, I am trying to migrate some access queries to work with web services and hence Xcelsius.
Cheers.

Hi, Here is my oracle statement. How can I change it to be compatible with SQL Server?
update propertytable set visible =decode(propertyid, 1,0, 2,0, 3,1, 5,1, 6,1, 7,0, 9,1, 10,1, 11,0, 14,1, 30,1, 38,1, 60,0, 232,0, 233,0, 415,1, 605,0) where parentid between 2000006001 and 2000006020
Thanks...
I am a novice to SQL Server, so this is probably a really easy problemto fix. I'm translating an Oracle query and need to change the'decode' to something compatible. Everything I've read points me tousing 'case' but no matter how I write it I can't get it to work andget a syntax error. Suggestions?select SYST CTR, isnull(substring(CD_A, 1, 3), ' ') RESCODE, DES DESCRIPTION, decode (substring(CD_A, 1, 3), CODE,PRICE,0) UNIT_PRICE, count (distinct OR_NO) QTYW

Hi,
How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????
