I'm forced to use stone knives and bear skins at work and unfortunately LINQ has been too good to me. What is wrong here:
SELECT cat_id, cat_parent, CASE WHEN LEN(cat_name) > 36 THEN SUBSTRING(cat_name,0,36) + '...' ELSE cat_name FROM Categories WHERE cat_parent != 0 AND cat_dir = 'Manufacturing'
I get this error:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'.
CASE missing END near FROM
SELECT cat_id, cat_parent,
CASE WHEN LEN(cat_name) > 36 THEN SUBSTRING(cat_name,0,36) + '...' ELSE cat_name END FROM Categories WHERE cat_parent != 0 AND cat_dir = 'Manufacturing'
I added END after cat_name before FROM
SELECT cat_id, cat_parent, CASE WHEN LEN(cat_name) > 36 THEN SUBSTRING(cat_name,0,36) + '...' ELSE cat_name END AS cat_name FROM Categories WHERE cat_parent != 0 AND cat_dir = 'Manufacturing'
It is missing an END for the CASE

I don't know if this is possible, but this is the question. I try to change operator = by > if paramvalue = 0
AS $BODY$
declare
operator text;
begin
operator:='=';
if (paramvalue = 0) then
operator:='>';
end if;
select * from tablaname where id #operator 20
thanks!
I think overloading an operator is more complex than what you need for this behavior. You could try using a CASE statement instead.
SELECT *
FROM tablename
WHERE CASE WHEN paramvalue = 0
THEN id > 20
ELSE id = paramvalue
END
;
If you really want to overload an operator I suggest taking a look at the postgres documentation here.
REMARK NOT TESTED !!
In your scenario solution could be...:
.....
if (paramvalue = 0) then
select * from tablaname where id > 20
Else
select * from tablaname where id = 20
end if;
Please read this 9.16. Conditional Expressions
And this would be rather:
CASE WHEN paramvalue = 0 THEN select * from tablaname where id > 20
ELSE select * from tablaname where id = 20
END
I am trying to execute the following query in SSMS 2014. However, I am unable to access from the outer query, the column created using a case statement in the inner query. i.e.I am not able to access c.current.
Error obtained - Incorrect syntax near C
select C.trandate,C.plan,C.current from
(SELECT d.trandate,p.plan,
case when datediff(dd,trandate,getdate()) <=30 then d.amount else 0 end as 'Current',
case when datediff(dd,trandate,getdate()) between 31 and 60 then d.amount else 0 end as '31 to 60',
case when datediff(dd,trandate,getdate()) between 331 and 360 then d.amount else 0 end as '331 to 360',
case when datediff(dd,trandate,getdate()) > 360 then d.amount else 0 end as '>360',d.residentsys
FROM [HMXals_Reporting].[dbo].[TranARDetail] d
join [HMXals_Reporting].[dbo].[plans] p
on d.transys = p.plansys
) C
plan and current are both reserved keywords.
You'll have to go with
select C.trandate, C.[plan], C.[current] from
or choose other names.
My assumption was that it would return a true if that value was numeric (within the isnumeric range) but FALSE if the ISNULL returns 'blah'. Seems like my assumption was off...
I'm using the it in the following way
case when ISNULL(ISNUMERIC(c.npinumber), 'blah') = 1
then c.NPiNUmber
else 'not valid: ' + c.NpiNumber
end as npi
Building on Dhruvesh's answer,
case
when ISNUMERIC(c.npinumber) = 1 then c.NPiNUmber
else 'not valid: ' + c.NpiNumber
end as npi
Will produce NULL anytime NpiNumber is NULL. The reason is that NULL + any string will still return NULL. The solution is to simply use the COALESCE function
case
when ISNUMERIC(c.npinumber) = 1 then c.NPiNUmber
else 'not valid: ' + COALESCE(c.NpiNumber, 'NULL VALUE')
end as npi
select ISNUMERIC(ISNULL(NULL, 'blah')),
ISNUMERIC(ISNULL(1234, 'blah')),
ISNUMERIC(ISNULL('ab', 'blah'))
Returns 0, 1, 0 - so your logic is correct.
When SQL's not behaving I like to simplify my query. Try running the query without your case statement first. If the results look right, then add additional logic.
What collation is your database? It's always a good idea to keep your column names properly cased (I'm looking at that all-lowercase column name over there...).
You don't require ISNULL. ISNUMERIC will return 1 if it's numberic or 0 if it's NULL or non-numeric.
case
when ISNUMERIC(c.NpiNumber) = 1 then c.NPiNUmber
else 'not valid: ' + c.NpiNumber
end as npi
Also as Euric Mentioned you may want to look at your all-lowercase column name.
I am using SSMS 2008 R2 and am trying to figure out the SQL select statement to select all records where two or more of the values are found.
These are the four possible values I am looking for. If two or more of these values (SubstanceAbuse, BehaviorEmotion, SexualAbuse, DomesticViolence) are met, I want to set a new field to 1. How do I do this?
case when qav.[test_setup_details_caption] in ('Substance Abuse / Drug Use','Caregiver monitor youth for drug alcohol use') then 1 else 0 end SubstanceAbuse,
case when qav.[test_setup_details_caption] in ('Physical Aggression','Firesetting','Gang Involvement','Runaway Behavior') then 1 else 0 end BehaviorEmotion,
case when qav.[test_setup_details_caption] = 'Problem Sexual Behavior' then 1 else 0 end SexualAbuse,
case when qav.[test_setup_details_caption] LIKE '%Domestic%' then 1 else 0 end DomesticViolence,
My suggestion would be to take the above statement and make it a virtual table in a new SELECT statement. Then you can do a SUM on the ones (since they are calculated already) in your WHERE statement and display only
where (Sub + Beh + Sex + Dom) > 1
It would look something like this (pseudo-code):
SELECT t.*
FROM (SELECT sub case, Beh case, etc.
FROM yourtable) t
WHERE (t.sub + t.Beh + t.Sex + t.Dom) > 1
It seems like all you need is this WHERE clause:
WHERE SubstanceAbuse + BehaviorEmotion + SexualAbuse + DomesticViolence > 1
update myTable set myField = 1 where 2 <= (select SubstanceAbuse + BehaviorEmotion + SexualAbuse + DomesticViolence from ...)
Of course, this is just a template for your query, but you get the idea. If the answer is still unclear then I kindly ask you to give me more details.
Best regards,
Lajos Arpad.
could you please help?
SELECT
(some columns),
SortOrder = CASE WHEN City = #inParamCity THEN 0 ELSE 1 END
FROM
dbo.addressBook
ORDER BY
SortOrder
I tried this and got:
Incorrect syntax near '=' ' –
SELECT
(some columns)
FROM
dbo.addressBook
ORDER BY
CASE
WHEN City = #inParamCity THEN 0
ELSE 1
END
Shouldn't it be like this?
SELECT (some columns),
CASE City WHEN #inParamCity THEN 0 ELSE 1 END As SortOrder
FROM dbo.addressBook
ORDER BY SortOrder
