Case condition in where clause

Hi
I'm a SQL beginner but according to my reading of the manual, this syntax should be acceptable. I'm using it in application express but tested it also in SQL developer and finding that it fails with an "invalid relational operator" error, with the line number pointing to the ELSE clause of the CASE condition, but a column number pointing to white space.
This is a nested select but that shouldn't matter. The fragment in question is this:
select some columns
from res
where res.villaid = :P605_VILLAID
and INSTR(:P604_RES_STATES, res.states) != 0
and (CASE :P604_EXCLUDE_ZERO
WHEN 'Y' THEN 'res.rate > 0'
ELSE 'res.rate >= 0'
END)
and res.DEPARTDATE > :P605_STARTDATE
and res.ARRIVEDATE <= :P605_ENDDATE,
I hope this formats ok when posted. The code is looking for reservations in a date range (which works fine when the other conditions are commented out), and should only output zero-rate rows (complimentary nights) if the user asks for this in the P604_EXCLUDE_ZERO bind variable. There are probably other ways to go about this, but I am too stubborn to give up on this. Well, not yet anyway.
Thanks and regards
CS

select some columns

where res.villaid = :p605_villaid
       and instr (:p604_res_states, res.states) != 0
       and sign (res.rate) >= case when :p604_exclude_zero = 'Y' then 1 else 0 end
       and res.departdate > :p605_startdate
       and res.arrivedate <= :p605_enddate

Please help to build an sql from the given expression to build case condition with Where clause

if @rollno is not null then
Select top 1 studentid from student where rollno =:@rollno
else
if @regno is not null then
Select top 1 studentid from student where regno =:@regno
Please help me to create the above condition as a single sql statement . I will pass two argument in to the sql.
With Thanks
Pol
polachan

Select top 1 studentid from student
where (rollno =:@rollno or :@rollno is null)
and (regno =:@regno or :@regno is null)
The above expression will work in SQL server
I'm not sure you're using sql server as syntax like :@regno are not t-sql valid
so you can try the above and if it doesnt work please try in the relevant forums for more help in case you're using a different RDBMS

Problem in case of or condition in where clause in case of leftouter joi.

hi
i am encountering a wierd problem.
in a select query if i have a left outer join and a or condition in where clause the order of condition in or matters and if i use a to_char problem is solved.
see query below
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
i have a single record in table custsupp with CS_FLAG ='B' the above does not return result. but if i move CS_FLAG='B' on left of or i.e
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (CS_FLAG='B' or CS_flag ='C') and custsupp.state = a.id
i get the rsult.
also if i remove left outer join and keep order of condition as it is i get result i.e
select * from custsupp ,state a where (CS_FLAG='C' or CS_flag ='B') and custsupp.state = a.id
also if i add a to_char to co,umns CS_FLAG i get the result.
select * from custsupp left outer join Salesperson s on custsupp.sales_rep = s.id ,state a where (to_char(CS_FLAG)='C' or to_char(CS_flag ='B')) and custsupp.state = a.id
why it is so?
CS_flag is of type nchar

First if you don't want to take credit of the free sample then follow the below procedure:
1. Do the GRN for all the three item and for the free item in the excise tab at the item level select the material as non cenvatable. Just remember to add base value of the item
2. If you want to capture the Part1 entry then just do the normal transaction and while posting the excise with J1IEX just remove the excise duties for the free item.
3. For paying the vendor the excise amount, just do subsequent debit in the MIRO and in the details tab add in the unplanned delivery cost the amount that you want to pay for the excise duties
Second case if you want to take credit of the duties:
1. Do the Normal GRN process, add the base value and excise values for the free item.
2. Post the Excise duites with J1iEX.
3. The with the account entry you can settle the excise payment
Hope this will help you
Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy

Case statement in where clause ??

Hello gurus,
Can we use case statements in where clause ?? Any example will be great!
And also i would like to know, besides CASE and DECODE statements, Is there any way we can use IF ELSE statements in SELECT clause or in WHERE clause ?
Thank you!!

Hi,

Hoek,
Thanks for the reply
Whatever you return from 'then' should match your criteria.I didnt get this part...can you elaborate this part ?? Thank you!!Remember what a CASE expression does: it returns a single value in one of the SQL data types (or NULL).
You're probably familiar with conditions such as
WHERE   col = 1Inthe example above, col could be replaced by any kind of expression: a function call, and operation (such as "d * 24") or a CASE expression, which is exactly what Hoek posted:
where case
         when col = 6 then 1
         when col = 9 then 1
       end = 1;I think what Hoek meant about mnatching was this: since the CASE expression is being compared to a NUMBER, then every THEN clause (as well as the ELSE, if there is one) should return the same data type. You can't have one THEN clause return a NUMBER, and another one in the same CASE expression return a DATE, like this:
where case
         when col = 6 then 1
         when col = 9 then SYSDATE     -- WRONG! Raises ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
       end = 1;
By the way, it's rare when a CASE expression really helps in a WHERE clause. CASE is great for doing conitional stuff in places where you otherwise can't (in the ORDER BY clause, for example), but the WHERE clause was designed for conditions.
Hoek was just trying to give a simple example. If you really wanted those results, it would be simpler to say:
where col = 6
or     col = 9and simpler still to say
where col IN (6, 9)

How can I pass multiple condition in where clause with the join table?

Hi:
I need to collect several inputs at run time, and query the record according to the input.
How can I pass multiple conditions in where clause with the join table?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
TD

If you are using SQL-Plus or Reports you can use lexical parameters like:
SELECT * FROM emp &condition;
When you run the query it will ask for value of condition and you can enter what every you want. Here is a really fun query:
SELECT &columns FROM &tables &condition;
But if you are using Forms. Then you have to change the condition by SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY.
Best of luck!

CASE expressions aren't needed in WHERE clauses very much. The reason CASE expressions are so useful is that they allow you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic anywhere in SQL. The WHERE clause already allows you to do IF-THEN-ELSE logic, usually in a more convenient way.
I need the code.So do the peple who want t help you. Post a query where you'd like to use a CASE expression in the WHERE clause. Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for any tables used unless they are commonly available, such as scott.emp). Also, post the results you want from that sample data, and explain how you get those resuts from that data.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

CASE in a WHERE clause : ORA-00905

     ELSE id_reserv=id_reserv
     END
     AND nom LIKE '%'
ORDER BY date_creation;
I already looked at the CASE statement and it seems that the syntax is correct, so I'm not sure I can use it in a WHERE clause.
Any help would be nice !
Guich

Hi,
it should be something like this:
AND CASE
WHEN 'false'='true' THEN (select id_reserv from demande_livraison where id_env_dep>='-1')
ELSE id_reserv
     END = id_reserv The subquery should give one row back
But I think it is better to write your query as:
SELECT id_reserv,
     concat(nom,concat('_',indice)) as nom,
     libelle,
     num_lot,
     resa_keyword1,
     resa_keyword2,
     resa_keyword3,
     resa_keyword4,
     date_creation,
     comm_creation,
     id_util,
     actif,
     id_env_act,
     (SELECT login from utilisateur u where u.id_util=r.id_util) AS nom_util,
     (SELECT nom from environnement e where e.id_env=r.id_env_act) AS nom_env,
     (SELECT count(*) from reserv_comp rc where rc.id_reserv=r.id_reserv) AS nbComp,
     (SELECT count(*) from reserv_modif mc where mc.id_reserv=r.id_reserv) AS nbModif
FROM reservation r
     WHERE r.nom NOT LIKE 'RESERV_LOT_%'
     AND id_util='1'
     AND actif='1'
     AND id_env_act>='-1'
     AND
                      ( 'false'='true' and id_reserv not in (select id_reserv from demande_livraison where id_env_dep>='-1')
                      or
                      ( 'true'= 'true' and id_reserv=id_reserv
     AND nom LIKE '%'
ORDER BY date_creation;This coding in SQL something as if a=b then c, else d in the simplest form.

Case statement within where clause

How can i write a case statement within Where clause of SQL statement.
Ex:
If sysdate is less than Dec 31 of 2009 then run the query for 2009 else run the query for 2010.
belwo query is not working. Please let me know how can i write a case statement within where clause.
Select * from table
where
Case
when to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')<=20091231 then tax_year=2009
else tax_year=2010
End

Hi,
You can get the results you want like this:
Select *
from      table
where   tax_year = Case
                  when to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd') <= 20091231
                  then 2009
                  else 2010
             End
;A CASE expression returns a single value in one of the SQL data types, such as a NUMBER, VARCHAR2 or DATE. There is no boolean type in SQL.

Hi,
Create a new internal table gt_covp_ext_new with the same structure as gt_covp_ext. Include an extra field in gt_covp_ext_new-concat, to store the concatenated value.
Copy all entries from gt_covp_ext to gt_covp_ext_new.
Loop at gt_covp_ext.
move-corresponding gt_covp_ext to gt_covp_ext_new.
gt_covp_ext_new-concat = gt_covp_ext-REFBN + gt_covp_ext-REFGJ .
append gt_covp_ext_new.
endloop.
Now use this new internal table in the query.
select bukrs belnr gjahr
bldat budat cpudt
xblnr waers awtyp awkey
from bkpf
into corresponding fields of table t_bkpf
for all entries in gt_covp_ext_new
where bukrs eq gt_covp_ext_new-bukrs and
awkey eq gt_covp_ext_new-concat and
awtyp eq 'MKPF'.
Hope this answers your qn.

Using :case when in where clause

Hello,
I need some help with using of case statement in a where clause
Table that contains info about employees taking some coursework:
Class (values could be SAP, ORACLE, JAVA)
Code (if Class is SAP then CODE is not null; if class is any other CODE is NULL)
Start Date (date they began class not null)
End Date (date then ended the class - could be null)
Employee Level(numbers from one through five)
I need a single LOV in forms that should show Employee_Level for input class,code,date.
How to do this?
I started off with this but get 'missing statement error'
select distinct employee_level from e_course
   where (
   case when &class='SAP' then code ='1' and start_date > to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD') and

But all these examples have only one condition for each case.Depending on how you count, all WHERE clauses have only one condition.
I see an example in that thread that has 6 atomic conditions, linked by AND and OR.
I need to check date & code. This is what is causing the error.Why do you want to use a CASE statement?
Why can't you put all your conditions directly iinto a WHERE clause, soemthing like this:
WHERE   (   &class='SAP'
        AND code ='1'
OR      (   start_date > to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD')
        AND end_date    < to_date('20000101','YYYYMMDD')

I see a couple of problems here.
First, what you posted below is not a syntactically valid query. It seems to be part of a larger query, specifically, this looks to be only the GROUP BY clause of a query.

what happens to the ELSE PART?It is for you to tell what happens to the ELSE part.
If the ID is not 1 or 11, then your AND condition fails and probably your query will not retrieve any records for you (Assuming this query is not a part of OR condition, because there is no query provided.).
Because, without ELSE, the default shall be set to NULL and since you used "DATA_CD =", NULL shall not equate with it resulting in failure of condition. Hence, I would suggest you to add some default value in the ELSE part.

How to change operator of join conditions in where clause?

Hello
I have a situation... I want to change the operator between each join conditions in the where clause when these join conditions are not from the same join..
For example, I have the following schema:
Dim1 ------ DimA -------Fact1
Dim1-------DimB -----Fact1
So DimA and DimB are aliasas of one dim table, but the join is different.
Now if I run this model, what I will get in the where clause of the query is:
Where Dim1 = DimA and Dim1 = DimB and DimA= Fact1 and DimB = fact1.
Is there a way I can change these "and" operator to "OR", so that the where clause would look like this: Where Dim1 = DimA and Dim1 = DimB and DimA= Fact1 OR DimB = fact1?
This is different from simply changing the join operator within the same join, because these are different joins and I'd like to control how they relate to each other..
Please help
Thanks

Sometimes, business rules are complex, so there isn't always a way to simplify things. Is your issue that it's complex and error prone, or is it performance due to the OR clauses?
One possibility that will at least make it easier to test and debug is something like this: (pseudocode)
From Table1 Inner join Table2 on x=y etc.etc.
CROSS APPLY
(Select case when a=b and (c=d or e=f) then 1 else 0 end) as Situation1
, case when h=i or j = k then 1 else 0 end) as situation2
, case when l = m then 1 else 0 end) as situation 3
) as CA_Logic_Simplifier
Where situation1 = 1 and situation2 = 1 and situation3 = 1
Although you could say, "Hey, this is basically doing the same thing as before", this approach would be far easier to test and debug, because you can at a glance look at the values for situation1, 2, 3, etc. to see where errors are being introduced.
The cross apply makes the columns situation1/2/3 "instantiated", so they are usable in the where clause. Divide and conquer.

How to use a case statement in where clause

Hi All,
I have a requirement which is to bring all the claims that are created in the last month.So, i wrote a query something like this
select * from claims
where
(Month(ClaimOpenDate) = Month(Getdate())-1 and year(claimopendate) = year(getDate()))
which would give me any new claims created in last month of current year, but this condition fails if we are in the first month of a new year( lets say if we are in 2016 jan then month(getdate())-1 would be 0 and year(getdate()) would be 2016 so we dont
find any records where year is 2016 and month is 0 for claimopen).
So, i would like to use a case statament or something which can help me get around this one.
Can someone please help me with any suggestions?
Thanks

left outer join [Stg].[HS_DW_LossClaimSummary] s on c.ClaimKey=s.ClaimKey
where c.LoadSource = 'CMS'
and
DESCRIPTION like '%Denial Letter%'
and
ClaimOpenDate BETWEEN DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) -1, 0) AND DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), 0)
So if i use your logic in the end for both the where clauses its been more than 10 minutes and the query is still running however if i use my old method it doesnt even take a second. Looks like its affecting the execution plan. Any suggestions to get around
this one please?
Thanks

No output for XML Publisher Report using CASE/DECODE in Where Clause

Hi,
I've a business requirement to modify an existing report which has two input parameters,
-> p_statcode (Closed Status) which can have values 'Y' or 'N'
-> p_overdue (Overdue Flag) which can have values 'Y' or 'N'
The Overdue Flag is an evaluated column having values of Y/N and it is evaluated as follows,
ONTF_MOD_VAL(NVL (
                                     (TRUNC (SYSDATE)
                                      - (TO_DATE (oe_order_lines.attribute18,
                                                  'DD-MON-RRRR')
                                         + TO_NUMBER (fnd_lookup_values.meaning))),
                                     0
                        overdue_flagThe user requirement now is they needs to be a third option for parameter p_overdue called ALL,
passing which the output should include records having
p_statcode is Y ELSE p_statcode is N AND p_overdue is Y OR p_overdue is N
In other words records having both Y and N vlaues for Overdue Flag have to be returned irrespective of the value given to Closed Status.
Original where clause in the Data Definition file is as follows,
WHERE Closed_Status = nvl(:p_statcode,Closed_Status)
                   AND overdue_flag = nvl(:p_overdue,overdue_flag)My modified code is as follows,
WHERE   Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
         AND overdue_flag = (CASE
         WHEN :p_overdue = 'Y' THEN 'Y'
         WHEN :p_overdue = 'N' THEN 'N'
         ELSE overdue_flag
         END)
OR
WHERE   Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
         AND overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag)Both approaches have the same problem.
The output is in EXCEL format. The modified query works fine for p_overdue as Y or N but when p_overdue is passed as ALL it returns an empty EXCEL sheet with just the report output column headers.
Any help as to why this is the case ?? What is wrong in my approach ?
Regards,

not clear about p_overdue = ALL
which values needed for p_overdue = ALL ?
try smth like
WHERE   Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND (
   overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag) and :p_overdue != 'ALL'
   or
:p_overdue = 'ALL' and (overdue_flag = 'Y' or overdue_flag = 'N')
)for overdue_flag which has more then 'Y', 'N' values
if overdue_flag only in ('Y','N') then
WHERE   Closed_Status = NVL (:p_statcode, Closed_Status)
AND (
   overdue_flag = DECODE (:p_overdue, 'Y', 'Y', 'N', 'N',overdue_flag) and :p_overdue != 'ALL'
   or
:p_overdue = 'ALL'
)
