SQL Select where exclusive Or /Case - sql-server-2008-r2

Question

I need a query based on an exclusive Or statement for this I try using the case but I won't get a result in case of Null...
...
and b.[U_Periode] = CASE
when (b.U_Periode= #period) then #period
when (b.U_Periode is NULL ) then null
end
...
The Case that won't be catched is... if B.U_Status is null and b.U_Periode is null.
If the var Periode match the Value and the U_Status = 0 or 1
the only way getting this working for me was this:
...
and
ISNULL( b.[U_Status],'0') = CASE
when (b.U_Status= '1') then '1'
when (isnull( b.U_Status,'0')= '0') then '0'
end
and
ISNULL (b.[U_Periode],'01.01.1901') = CASE
when (b.U_Periode= #period) then #period
when (ISNULL (b.U_Periode,'01.01.1901') = '01.01.1901' ) then '01.01.1901'
end
are there any other better solutions for this?
Best regards

Okay... here is my Problem
Table1
InsID ContractID
1 1
2 1
Table2
ID insid Period Status Count
1 1 null null 100
2 1 30.09.2015 1 500
3 2 null null 100
4 2 30.09.2015 1 500
Case '31.08.2015'
in total Value should be 200
in case of '30.09.2015'
the Value should be 1.000
XOR /OR will do the same in this case.
Value case '31.08.2015' = 200
value Case ' 30.09.2015 = 2200
So this is somesing like a subquery
left join (
[dbo].[Table2]b
inner join [dbo].[Table 3]K on k.DocEntry = b.DocEntry and CAST( k.U_CSetID as int) >0
)
on b.[U_InsID] in(select... but here I should have an if statement...
If there are results matching the Date join this
If not than join the result NULL is matching to periode...

Answer 1

Okay.. here is the complete query
the Table2 with the Date of 31.08.2015 should have one Record that include
B_STATUS = Null and B.Preiode = null and there is no available record with the U_Periode '31.08.2015' and a Staus ...
with a date of 30.09.2015
there is a Record matching U_Period = '30.09.2015' in this case the Record with U_Period=null should not effect the result...
Declare #period as varchar(20)= '31-08-2015 00:00:00'
declare #Customer as Varchar(15)='12345'
declare #Contract as varchar(30) = '123'
declare #test as varchar(1) = null
select SUM(cast(K.U_Count as decimal))as counter, K.U_CounterTyp
from [dbo].[Table1] a
left join (
[dbo].[Table2]b
inner join [dbo].[Table 3]K on k.DocEntry = b.DocEntry and CAST( k.U_CSetID as int) >0
)
on b.[U_InsID]=a.[insID] and b.[U_ObjectType]in ('5','1') and
ISNULL( b.[U_Status],'0') = CASE
when (b.U_Status= '1') then '1'
when (isnull( b.U_Status,'0')= '0') then '0'
end
and
ISNULL (b.[U_Periode],'01.01.1901') = CASE
when (b.U_Periode= #period) then #period
when (ISNULL (b.U_Periode,'01.01.1901') = '01.01.1901' ) then '01.01.1901'
end
where a.[customer] =#Customer and a.[Status]='A' and a.[U_ContrCount]='1'
and a.[manufSN] in(
select c.[ManufSN] from [dbo].[Table4] c
inner join [dbo].[OCTR]d on d.[ContractID] = c.[ContractID]
where c.[ManufSN]=a.[manufSN]
and d.[CstmrCode] = a.[customer] and d.[ContractID]=#Contract
)
group by K.U_CounterTyp

Answer 2

you must use the "^" operand, this is XOR operand in TSQL
expression ^ expression
the expression must return or 0 or 1...
stupid example:
WHERE (name like "stackoverflow") ^ (age > 10)

Update for your check
WHERE (CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), a.[U_Periode], 104) = '30.08.2015') != (a.U_Periode IS NULL)

Answer 3

Olay here is my funktion that chek either a Date Result is there or not.
The only thing is, that the performance is not the best if I run hundreths of sentences ... foreach record (up to app. 1000) I need to query each subtable... and there are many many records in...
Anyway this is the function
CREATE FUNCTION fn_GetInsCounters(#InsId as Varchar(30), #Date as datetime)
returns datetime
as
begin
declare #count as int = 0
declare #Retruns as Datetime
set #count =
(
select count( b.Docentry)
from [dbo].[Table2]b
where b.U_Insid =#InsID
and b.U_Status <> '2'
and b.[U_ObjectType]in ('5','1')
and b.U_Periode=#Date
)
if(#count>0)
begin
set #Retruns = #date
end
else
begin
set #Retruns = '01.01.1901'
end
return #Retruns
end
if anyone gets a better idea???
