Hi,
Problem:
I want to set compatibility_level only when it is greater than 110.

Solution:
Select the compatibility level and if it is greater than 110, I alter database set compatibility level=110

ISSUE
Irrespective of IF Exist statement the alter database statement is executed all the time.

Here is the sql statement
IF EXISTS (
SELECT * FROM sys.databases where compatibility_level >110 AND name='mydatabase'
)
BEGIN
ALTER DATABASE mydatabase SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 110
END

What is that I am missing here ??
please support.
