I am attempting to us the CASE statement for the first time and I cannot understand why I am getting a syntax error on the last WHEN and ELSE. I am trying to extract a substring if a value starts with a specific set of characters. My Code is below:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN LEFT ([RCode],2) = 'BB' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],3,LEN([RCode]))
WHEN LEFT ([RCode],4) = 'APT-' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],5,LEN([RCode])
WHEN LEFT ([RCode],4) = 'PS-' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],4,LEN([RCode])
ELSE [RCode]
END
FROM [Xperdyte].[dbo].[tJCLines]
Any guidance would be appreciated.
This won't (necessarily) fix your syntax problem, but I would recommend that you use like for the comparisons:
SELECT (CASE WHEN RCode LIKE 'BB%' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode], 3, LEN([RCode]))
WHEN RCode LIKE 'APT-%' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode], 5, LEN([RCode]))
WHEN RCode LIKE 'PS-%' THEN SUBSTRING([RCode], 4, LEN([RCode]))
ELSE [RCode]
END)
FROM [Xperdyte].[dbo].[tJCLines];
Then you don't have to count characters -- and the third condition will match.
Missed off two right parenthesis.
SELECT CASE WHEN LEFT([RCode],2) = 'BB'
THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],3,LEN([RCode]))
WHEN LEFT([RCode],4) = 'APT-'
THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],5,LEN([RCode]))
WHEN LEFT([RCode],4) = 'PS-'
THEN SUBSTRING([RCode],4,LEN([RCode]))
ELSE [RCode]
END
FROM [Xperdyte].[dbo].[tJCLines]

I'm using a sql query to export a database from my company's program.
Everything seems to be fine till I change the date on the "where" statement with a previous one.
Please find below the code:
SELECT p."Index", p."PSN" || CAST(p."PNR"as int) AS ID,
p."PSN" AS Serie, cast(p."PNR"as int) AS Numar,
pr."PINDate" AS r_gdate,
CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='10' THEN pr."PrimSUM" ELSE
pr."PrimSUM"*valuta1."EXCValue" END AS r_prima_lei,
CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='2'
THEN pr."PrimSUM"
ELSE CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='10' THEN pr."PrimSUM"/valuta2."EXCValue"
ELSE pr."PrimSUM"*valuta1."EXCValue"/valuta2."EXCValue"
END
END AS r_prima_eur,
CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='10' THEN pr."AsigSUM" ELSE
pr."AsigSUM"*valuta1."EXCValue" END as r_sa_lei,
CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='2'
THEN pr."AsigSUM"
ELSE CASE WHEN pr."AsigEID"='10' THEN pr."AsigSUM"/valuta2."EXCValue"
ELSE pr."AsigSUM"*valuta1."EXCValue"/valuta2."EXCValue"
END
END AS r_sa_eur,
pr."AsigStart", pr."AsigEnd", risc."Code", plink."Index"
FROM "PolsRisc" AS pr
LEFT JOIN "Pols" as p ON p."Index" = pr."PID"
LEFT JOIN "Riscs" as risc ON pr."RID" = risc."Index"
LEFT JOIN "PRLNK" plink ON plink."PTID" = p."PTID" AND plink."RID" = risc."Index"
LEFT JOIN "EXCValues" valuta1 ON valuta1."AtDate" = pr."AsigStart" AND valuta1."EID" = pr."AsigEID"
LEFT JOIN "EXCValues" valuta2 ON valuta2."AtDate" = pr."AsigStart" AND valuta2."EID"='2'
WHERE pr."PINDate" > '2020-08-01' AND pr."IsRezil" = 'false';
When I'm using '2020-08-01' the query works well. When I try to change it to a previous one eg. '2010-01-01' a get an error:
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
SQL state: 22P02
I was looking for a solution on the previous posts but I didn't manage to solve this issue.
It looks like it is returning "" or a null value into one of the columns you are using integer logic for. The date change is just filtering out the data that would crash it.
You may need to use coalesce to reassign the nulls as 0 and then cast it back into being an int
select
cast(coalesce(table.column, 0) as int) as result
from table
I would advice to read the chapter http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-CONSTANTS
. It's a brief and informative read.The cause for the error message is that '' is an empty string that has no representation in a numeric type like integer
I'm running into an error with a sql inquery near my LIKE statement. Am I formatting the LIKE clause incorrectly within the WHEN clause of a CASE? Here is the code.
SELECT
substring (Cases.FileNumber,4,6) AS [FileNumber]
,Charge.ChargeCode
,Cases.BookedLastName
,Cases.BookedFirstName
,Cases.ArrestDate
,Cases.BookedDOB
,Cases.BookedAge
,Charge.OffenseToDate
,Cases.BookedRace
,Cases.BookedSex
,Charge.OffenseStreetAddress1
,Charge.OffenseCity
,Charge.OffenseState
,Charge.OffenseZipCode
,Charge.ChargeDescription
,(SELECT CASE
WHEN charge1.ChargeDescription LIKE N'%heroin%' THEN 'Heroin'
ELSE 'Not Heroin'
END
FROM tblCsCharge AS charge1
INNER JOIN tblCsCases AS cases1
ON charge1.FileNumber = cases1.FileNumber
WHERE
charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedDOB = Cases.BookedDOB
AND cases2.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735')) AS HeroinYN
FROM
tblCsCases AS Cases
INNER JOIN tblCsCharge AS Charge
ON Cases.FileNumber = Charge.FileNumber
WHERE Cases.IssuedDate >= 01/01/2017
AND
Cases.IssuedDate <= #EndDate
AND
Charge.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735')
AND
Cases.BookedLastName NOT IN (N'Bogus')
ORDER By
Cases.BookedLastName
This is a sub-query within a bigger query focused on building a column that will simply output Heroin or Not Heroin based off of a large text field in our database.
EDITs:
Despite the changes that should make the code compile, the following error now occurs:
Invalid column name 'BookedLastName'.
Invalid column name 'BookedLastName'.
Invalid column name 'BookedDOB'.
The multi-part identifier "cases2.ChargeCode" could not be bound.
You have two errors in your code, both of which were pointed out, though not in the same answer.
Your case statement should be without the column name in parenthesis - I commented it out in the copy of your code below)
You're missing a closing parenthesis at the end of the query, right before the alias - I added it below.
.
,(SELECT CASE--(charge1.ChargeDescription)
WHEN charge1.ChargeDescription LIKE N'%heroin%' THEN 'Heroin'
ELSE 'Not Heroin'
END
FROM tblCsCharge AS charge1
INNER JOIN tblCsCases AS cases1
ON charge1.FileNumber = cases1.FileNumber
WHERE
charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedDOB = Cases.BookedDOB
AND cases2.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735')) AS HeroinYN
This seems to be the issue..
AND cases2.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735') AS HeroinYN
Since this is part of a sub-query, you need another parenthese
AND cases2.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735')) AS HeroinYN
ALSO
You can't put the column name after a CASE statement when you are using an equality operator.
This is acceptable
select
case columnName
when 'X' then 1
when 'Y' then 0
end
This is not
select
case columnName
when = 'X' then 1
when columnName like '%Y%' then 0
end
CORRECTED SCRIPT
,(SELECT CASE
WHEN charge1.ChargeDescription LIKE N'%heroin%' THEN 'Heroin'
ELSE 'Not Heroin'
END
FROM tblCsCharge AS charge1
INNER JOIN tblCsCases AS cases1
ON charge1.FileNumber = cases1.FileNumber
WHERE
charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedLastName = cases1.BookedLastName
AND charge1.BookedDOB = Cases.BookedDOB
AND cases2.ChargeCode IN (N'579.015-001Y201735')) AS HeroinYN
The proper syntax for that is:
CASE
WHEN charge1.ChargeDescription LIKE N'%heroin%' THEN 'Heroin'
ELSE 'Not Heroin'
END
Don't put the field name after CASE in this syntax.
I'm having a Sql code like as follows
Select a.ItemCode, a.ItemDesc
From fn_BOM_Material_Master('A', #AsOnDate, #RptDate, #BranchID, #CompID)a
Left Outer Join fn_INV_AsOnDate_Stock(#StockDate, #AsOnDate, #RptDate, #BranchID, #CompID, #Finyear)b
On a.ItemCode=b.ItemCode and b.WarehouseCode<>'WAP'
and a.BranchID=b.BranchID and a.CompID=b.COmpID
Where a.ItemNatureCode = 'F' and a.BranchID = #BranchID and a.CompID = #CompID
Group by a.ItemCode, a.ItemDesc
Having sum(b.CBQty)<=0
Here the problem is that im passing an "#ShowZeroStock" value as as bit if the "#ShowZeroStock" value is '1' then Having should not be validated or (i.e: All values from the table should be returned including zero)
So How to change the query based on passed bit value "#ShowZeroStock"
I can Use "If else " condition at the top and remove having in else part, but for a lengthy query i can't do the same.
Is this the logic you want?
Having sum(b.CBQty) <= 0 or #ShowZeroStock = 1
Hi every one i want to use case statement in join using this query and got error
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), SII.SIDATE,103)DATE,SII.SALEID,SII.ItemName,SI.TenancyID
FROM F_SALESINVOICEITEM SII
INNER JOIN F_SALESINVOICE SI ON SI.SALEID=SII.SALEID
INNER JOIN #TempTableSearch ts ON CASE
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '1' THEN ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.TENANCYID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='2' THEN ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.EMPLOYEEID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='3' THEN ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SUPPLIERID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='4' THEN ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SALESCUSTOMERID
Error
Incorrect syntax near '='.
Please help me to solve this error.
IT should be,
ON
ts.ACCOUNTID = CASE
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '1' THEN SI.TENANCYID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '2' THEN SI.EMPLOYEEID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '3' THEN SI.SUPPLIERID
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '4' THEN SI.SALESCUSTOMERID
END
Instead of using CASE, I'd much rather do this:
Select CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), SII.SIDATE,103)DATE,SII.SALEID,SII.ItemName,SI.TenancyID
FROM F_SALESINVOICEITEM SII
INNER JOIN F_SALESINVOICE SI ON SI.SALEID=SII.SALEID
INNER JOIN #TempTableSearch ts ON
(ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='1' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.TENANCYID)
OR (ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='2' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.EMPLOYEEID)
OR (ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='3' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SUPPLIERID)
OR (ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='4' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SALESCUSTOMERID)
To explain why the query didn't work for you: the syntax of the CASE requires an END at the end of the clause. It would work, as the other solutions proposed suggest, but I find this version to be more convenient to understand - although this part is highly subjective.
you can do this, so you have no chance to misspell something (note that ACCOUNTTYPE and ACCOUNTID used only when needed, you don't have to copy-paste it)
select
convert(varchar(10), SII.SIDATE,103) as DATE,
SII.SALEID, SII.ItemName, SI.TenancyID
from F_SALESINVOICEITEM as SII
inner join F_SALESINVOICE as SI on SI.SALEID = SII.SALEID
outer apply (
'1', SI.TENANCYID
'2', SI.EMPLOYEEID
'3', SI.SUPPLIERID
'4', SI.SALESCUSTOMERID
) as C(ACCOUNTTYPE, ACCOUNTID)
inner join #TempTableSearch as ts on
ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = C.ACCOUNTTYPE and ts.ACCOUNTID = C.ACCOUNTID
You have syntax error. You are missing END there.
You must understand that CASE ... END block is NOT equivalent to IF { } from C-like languages. Much rather this is equivalent to elaborate version of ... ? ... : ... operator from C-like languages. What it means that the WHOLE CASE block must essentially evaluate to single value and that this value has to be the same type no matter which case of the block is executed. This means that:
CASE
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '1' THEN ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.TENANCYID ...
END
Is fundamentally incorrect unless you work on a version of database that will allow you bool value as a value (SQL Server won't allow it for example but I think some of MySQL version used to allow it - not sure about this). You probably should write something like:
CASE
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE = '1' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.TENANCYID THEN 1
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='2' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.EMPLOYEEID THEN 1
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='3' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SUPPLIERID THEN 1
WHEN ts.ACCOUNTTYPE='4' AND ts.ACCOUNTID=SI.SALESCUSTOMERID THEN 1
ELSE 0
END = 1
Notice how the whole CASE block evaluates to 1 or 0 and then it is compared to 1. Of course instead of 4 WHEN's you could use one WHEN with combination of AND's, OR's and ( ) brackets. Of course in this particular case answer by #ppeterka 66 is correct as CASE is not suited for what you really wanted to do - I'm just trying to clarify what CASE really is.
Problem:
A Database collumn has a Tristate (0,1,2).
Each of the values are used serversidely.
The Clientcode (which cant be changed anymore) is only able to understand '0,1'.
In the Clients view '1' is identic with '2'. So I want to change the SQL Query in the Database to return '1', if the specific value is > 0.
My current Solution is combining 2 Selects (using UNION SELECT) with different WHERE-Clauses and returning '1' or '0' as static values. Now I'm looking for a solution to 'translate' the value within only ONE SELECT statement.
This is my current Solution:
SELECT
dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID, dbo.Nachricht.Bezeichnung, '1' AS BetrifftKontoeinrichtung,
FROM dbo.Nachricht INNER JOIN dbo.AdditionalData
ON dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID = dbo.AdditionalData.NachrichtID
WHERE (dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID in ( 450,439 ))
AND dbo.AdditionalData.BetrifftKontoeinrichtung > 0
UNION SELECT
dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID, dbo.Nachricht.Bezeichnung, '0' AS BetrifftKontoeinrichtung,
FROM dbo.Nachricht INNER JOIN dbo.AdditionalData
ON dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID = dbo.AdditionalData.NachrichtID
WHERE (dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID in ( 450,439 ))
AND dbo.AdditionalData.BetrifftKontoeinrichtung = 0
You can use a case statement, like this:
SELECT
dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID, dbo.Nachricht.Bezeichnung,
CASE WHEN dbo.AdditionalData.BetrifftKontoeinrichtung = 0
THEN '0' ELSE '1'
END AS BetrifftKontoeinrichtung,
FROM dbo.Nachricht
INNER JOIN dbo.AdditionalData
ON dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID = dbo.AdditionalData.NachrichtID
WHERE (dbo.Nachricht.NachrichtID in ( 450,439 ))
Looks like you need to use CASE. A decent tutorial here
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3288921/T-SQL-Programming-Part-5---Using-the-CASE-Function.htm
See the worked example
If you just CAST(CAST(val AS BIT) AS INT) you will get integer 0 for 0 and integer 1 for everything else.
