Oracle - Updating one column or another based on a condition - sql

I want to update a record in a table but based on a condition I will either update one column or another but I do not want to have 2 separate statements because the statements are very long and detailed.
Here is the basic idea with over simplification to get to the point.
PROCEDURE Animal_something(p_updater VARCHAR2)
begin
if p_updater = 'person' then
-- I want to update the modified_by
else
-- if p_updater = 'a process' I want to update modified_by_process
Update table_creatures
set animal_type = 'Dog ,
**modified_by** = 'Bob'
**or do this**
**modified_by_process =** 'creature_package'
where animal_legs = '4'
I don't want:
if p_updater = 'person' then
Update table_creatures
set animal_type = 'Dog ,
modified_by = 'Bob'
where animal_legs = '4';
else
Update table_creatures
set animal_type = 'Dog ,
modified_by_process = 'creature_package'
where animal_legs = '4';
end;

UPDATE table_creatures
SET animal_type = 'Dog',
modified_by = CASE p_updater WHEN 'person' THEN 'Bob' ELSE modified_by END,
modified_by_process = CASE p_updater WHEN 'process' THEN 'creature_package' ELSE modified_by_process END
WHERE animal_legs = 4

You could use dynamic SQL, e.g.:
PROCEDURE Animal_something(p_updater VARCHAR2)
sql_string_pt1 VARCHAR2(2000) := 'UPDATE table_creatures SET animal_type = :1';
sql_string_pt2 VARCHAR2(2000) := NULL;
sql_string_pt3 VARCHAR2(2000) := ' WHERE animal_legs = :3';
begin
if p_updater = 'person' then
sql_string_pt2 := ', modified_by = :2';
else
sql_string_pt2 := ', modified_by_process = :2';
end if;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_string_pt1 || sql_string_pt2 || sql_string_pt3
USING 'Dog', 'Bob', '4';
end;
This has two advantages over Quassnoi's answer: use of bind variables, and not needing to update both columns on every execution, which would generate redo even though the actual value is not changed.
On the downside, the statement is not validated at all at compile time.

UPDATE table_creatures
SET animal_type = 'Dog',
modified_by = DECODE(p_updater , 'person' , 'BOB' ,
'proces' , 'creature_package' ,
'GIVE DEFAULT VALUE')
WHERE animal_legs = 4;
You can try this.

Update command not working inside nested for loop postgres

I have nested for loop as shown below and trying to perform the update statement, but the update command is not working

It doesn't update any of the row ?

IF condition in trigger in SQL Server

I converting this Oracle trigger to SQL Server. In Oracle there are using if condition for updating a table. I was wondering is it necessary to use if statement in SQL Server. I'm thinking to use in where clause. Please let me know if that's correct?
Thanks
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "DB1"."TG_PG_CODES"
BEFORE UPDATE OF "str_number", "op_status"
ON "DB1"."Header_T"
REFERENCING OLD AS oldrow NEW AS newrow
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF :newrow.op_status = 'X'
THEN
UPDATE DB1.pg_pollutant
SET op_status = 'X',
str_comp_status = '98',
str_mod_person = '3327'
WHERE str_number = :newrow.str_number;
END IF;
IF :newrow.op_status <> 'X'
AND SUBSTR (:oldrow.str_pgcodes, 1, 1) = '1'
AND SUBSTR (:newrow.str_pgcodes, 1, 1) = '0'
THEN
UPDATE DB1.pg_pollutant
SET op_status = 'X',
str_comp_status = '98'
WHERE str_number = :newrow.str_number
AND str_pollutant_key = :newrow.str_number || '0';
END IF;
END;
=============================================
In sql server
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[TG_TG_PG_CODES] ON [dbo].[Header_T]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
IF(UPDATE(str_number)
OR UPDATE(op_status))
BEGIN
IF(
(
SELECT op_status

) = 'X')
BEGIN

SET
a.op_status = 'X',
a.str_comp_status = '98',
a.str_mod_person = '3327'
FROM DB1.pg_pollutant a
INNER JOIN inserted AS i ON a.str_number = i.str_number;
END;
UPDATE a
SET
a.op_status = 'X',
a.str_comp_status = '98'
FROM DB1.pg_pollutant a
INNER JOIN inserted AS i ON a.[str_number] = i.[str_number]
AND a.str_pollutant_key = i.[str_number]+'0'
INNER JOIN Deleted AS d ON a.[str_number] = d.[str_number]
WHERE i.stroperationalstatus <> 'X'
AND SUBSTRING(d.str_pgcodes, 1, 1) = '1'
AND SUBSTRING(i.str_pgcodes, 1, 1) = '0'; /* I used this condition in where clause */
END;

SQL if else stored procedure

I'm writing a stored procedure and it's working for if but not for else. For if I'm getting the correct ID value but for else it's just giving me null.
SELECT #ID = ID FROM PRODUCTS WHERE SN = #SN
SELECT #Chip_ID = Chip_ID FROM PRODUCTS WHERE SN = #SN
SELECT #Power = Power From Module_Cycle WHERE ChipID = #Chip_ID
SELECT #Test_ID=Test_ID FROM TestEE_Mod WHERE ID=#ID AND #TypeID = TypeID
IF(#Test_ID IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
IF(#TypeID = '3')
BEGIN
SELECT #Temp_TestID=TestID FROM TempCycle WHERE ChipID = #Chip_ID AND #Power = 'false'
BEGIN
UPDATE TestEE_Mod SET Temp_TestID = #Temp_TestID WHERE ID = #ID AND TypeID = #TypeID
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT #Temp_TestID=TestID FROM TempCycle WHERE ChipID = #Chip_ID AND #Power = 'true'
BEGIN
UPDATE TestEE_Mod SET Temp_TestID = #Temp_TestID WHERE ID = #ID AND TypeID = #TypeID
END
END
END
Most likely the issue lies in the #Power variable. In your two SELECT statements, the only difference is that one includes #Power = 'false' in the WHERE clause, while the other includes #Power = 'true'.
Since #Power is a variable, not an actual column in your TempCycle table, I'm guessing you actually meant to filter by Power = #Power in both of them.

FireBird: How do you nest a select in an if?

I'm very new to FireBird, but I want to know how I can use a select statement as part of my conditional criteria. I feel like I've been to the internet in back trying to find a way to do this, but haven't come up with much. Below is my attempt at getting this to work. Thanks in advance for any help.
SET TERM ^ ;
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_test (
IPADD Varchar(32),

NOTE Varchar(200) )

IF((SELECT COUNT(*)

WHERE a.ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Reserved'
AND a.ALIVE = 'N'
AND (a.HOST_NAME = '' OR a.HOST_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.DNS_NAME = '' OR a.DNS_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.SYSTEM_NAME = '' OR a.SYSTEM_NAME is NULL)) > 0)
THEN
UPDATE
ADDRESSES a
SET
a.HOST_NAME = :HN,
a.ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Assigned',
a.NOTES = :NOTE

update_count = 1;
SUSPEND;
ELSE
update_count = 0;
SUSPEND;
END^
SET TERM ; ^
GRANT EXECUTE
ON PROCEDURE sp_test TO SYSDBA;
Using COUNT to check is there records to update is not the best way, use EXISTS instead, ie your IF would be
IF(EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM ADDRESSES a
WHERE a.ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Reserved'
AND a.ALIVE = 'N'
AND (a.HOST_NAME = '' OR a.HOST_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.DNS_NAME = '' OR a.DNS_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.SYSTEM_NAME = '' OR a.SYSTEM_NAME is NULL)))
THEN
But there seems to be a problem with your return value, update_count - you return 1 if you execute the UPDATE, but the actual number of rows affected by the statement might be something else. I suggest you use ROW_COUNT context variable instead. So your procedure would be
ALTER PROCEDURE sp_test (
IPADD Varchar(32),
HN Varchar(32),
NOTE Varchar(200) )
RETURNS ( update_count integer )
AS
BEGIN
IF(EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM ADDRESSES a
WHERE (a.ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Reserved')
AND (a.ALIVE = 'N')
AND (a.HOST_NAME = '' OR a.HOST_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.DNS_NAME = '' OR a.DNS_NAME is NULL)
AND (a.SYSTEM_NAME = '' OR a.SYSTEM_NAME is NULL)))
THEN BEGIN
UPDATE ADDRESSES a SET
a.HOST_NAME = :HN,
a.ADDRESS_TYPE = 'Assigned',
a.NOTES = :NOTE
WHERE a.SHORT_IP_ADDRESS = :IPADD;
update_count = ROW_COUNT;
END ELSE update_count = 0;
SUSPEND;
END^
