WITH CTE (col1, col2, col3) AS(
SELECT '1' col1,'abc' col2, 'bbc' col3 UNION ALL
SELECT '2'col1,'nbc' col2, 'zhi' col3 UNION ALL
SELECT '3'col1, NULL col2, 'abc' col3 UNION ALL
SELECT '4'col1, 'gef' col2, NULL col3 UNION ALL
SELECT '5'col1, NULL col2, NULL col3
)
SELECT *
FROM CTE
On this one, it should only show up row 2, 4 and 5. I want to keep if col2 or col3 is null but they need to be exluded if they have abc, def or ghi in them.
Like this?
SELECT *
FROM CTE
where (col2 is null or col2 not in ('abc', 'def', 'ghi'))
AND
(col3 is null or col3 not in ('abc', 'def', 'ghi'))
