Hello all,
I've created a (probably over complex) query that will eventually allow a user to select a value from 3 different variables. @Status, @AcctName, @RptName.
Since I'm allowing the end user to multi-select different values from the variables, my query begins to become a bit more complex...
For instance:
declare @status varchar(150)
select @status = 'ERROR,REVIEW,COMPLETE,DELIVERY PREPARED,ALERT'
IF (@status = 'ALL'
AND @AcctName <> 'ALL'
AND @RptName <> 'ALL')
BEGIN
select * from vw_document_main
WHERE ','+REPLACE(@AcctName,'','')+',' LIKE '%,'+acct_name+',%'
AND ','+REPLACE(@RptName,'','')+',' LIKE '%,'+rpt_title+',%'
END
ELSE
BEGIN.......
Since I'd have to allow for customization I have 9 different IF ELSE statements.
What I need help with doing is creating an ORDER BY variable for the entire IF ELSE statement.
I.E - @ColName = 'system_Status' then the entire IF ELSE statement would Order by System Status...
Any idea?
I began writing a query...
ORDER BY
CASE @ColName
WHEN 'system_Status' THEN system_status
WHEN 'document_status_code' THEN document_status_code
However, I'm not sure where this ORDER BY clause would go into my IF ELSE statement... would it need to be after each individual SELECT statement?
Any clarification would help, thanks!!

Yes it has to be in each SELECT statment. So put Order by after
AND ','+REPLACE(@RptName,'','')+',' LIKE '%,'+rpt_title+',%'
and similarly in the Select in ELSE....
You can always use PRINT to see the query and then execute that in query analyzer to make sure the dynamic query is correct. |

I'm not sure what your performance is like with your current set of queries or how much of a concern that is. However, you might be able to use a catach-all query (http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2009/03/19/catch-all-queries/): something like:
select *
from vw_document_main
WHERE
(
','+REPLACE(@AcctName,'','')+',' LIKE '%,'+acct_name+',%'
OR @AcctName = 'ALL'
)
AND
(
','+REPLACE(@RptName,'','')+',' LIKE '%,'+rpt_title+',%'
OR @RptName = 'All'
)
Another option is go to dynamic sql, that should gain you more performance and possibly be easier to read. |

Using ORDER BY with multiple IF ELSE statements
