Hi,
I have the following query
IF(SELECT 1 FROM VERSION
WHERE PATINDEX ('7.0%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.1%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.2%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.3%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.4%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.5%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.6%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.7%', VERSION)> 0)>0
BEGIN
if statement is giving error
"Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression."
because its trying to give the following output
1
1
1
1
1
1

Hi Anthony,
the question is, what do you want to do?
Do you want to check whether at least one row is returned? Then take:
IF exists(SELECT 1 FROM VERSION
WHERE PATINDEX ('7.0%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.1%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.2%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.3%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.4%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.5%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.6%', VERSION)> 0
OR PATINDEX ('7.7%', VERSION)> 0)
BEGIN

It's returning a 1 for each row that satisfies the predicates.
Maybe you could use IF EXISTS?

IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM VERSION
WHERE VERSION LIKE '7.[01234567]%')
