Hi All,

I have a where condition like

where Fk_Event in
(COALESCE((select fk_event from workscope_event where Fk_user=@userId),Fk_Event)))

actually my requirement is ..if the user is having event it should get only those events other wise all the events.

here the problem is i may get more than one fk_event from inner query , please tell me how can i solve this...Please try to avoid if else statements coz already my query is depending on so many conditions.

If may also be worth reading http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2009/03/19/catch-all-queries/ and http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2009/09/15/multiple-execution-paths/

Hi,

I have a table workscope_event where i will be having event id and user id mappings,

say for user id --> 1 mapped to events 1,2,3 where i have total 10 events

now i need a query such that if user with Id 1 login to the system it should show only 1,2,3 events but if user with other id logs into the system it shud give all the 10 events.

so as i told from workscope_events i will get mappings of user and event where i need to filter from event table with those events of workwscope_events depending on user login.

k my tables are

package_event (Id int,name nvarchar(50),fk_event int)
workscope_event (fk_user int,fk_event int)

data : Package_Event

Fk_Package, Fk_Event
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
6 1

data : workscope_event

Fk_User, Fk_Event
1 1
1 2
1 3

now if the user 1 logs in then the out put should be

Fk_Event , Fk_Package
1 1
2 2
3 3

for other users all the events and their packages should come.

Ok, so based on that sample data, what do you want the query to return. (actual values please, not a description)
