Hello all,
in a my stored procedure, I have several SELECT combined to an UNION to get my results.
Something like this:


Select Field1,Field2
From TableA A inner join TableB B
On A.ID = B.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableC C inner join TableD D
On C.ID = D.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableE E inner join TableF F
On E.ID = F.ID


Then I have to add another Select block only if a condition is valid, like:


IF (@DataDaUTC<= @DataStartNBDO)

Select Field1,Field2
From TableY Y inner join TableZ Z
On Y.ID = Z.ID


but in this way does not work in SQL Server 2008.

How can I solve this problem?


Thanks in advance.


Luigi

Instead of using the if clause, insert your condition as a where clause

....
UNION 

Select Field1,Field2
From TableE E inner join TableF F
On E.ID = F.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableY Y inner join TableZ Z
On Y.ID = Z.ID
WHERE @DataDaUTC<= @DataStartNBDO

Those params aren't part of the table, so brute force may work

IF @DataDaUTC <= @DataStartNBDO
Select Field1,Field2
From TableA A inner join TableB B
On A.ID = B.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableC C inner join TableD D
On C.ID = D.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableE E inner join TableF F
On E.ID = F.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableY Y inner join TableZ Z
On Y.ID = Z.ID


ELSE

Select Field1,Field2
From TableA A inner join TableB B
On A.ID = B.ID

UNION

Select Field1,Field2
From TableC C inner join TableD D
On C.ID = D.ID

Thank you Sunita and Jim
I've adopted the Sunita's solution.
