alternate query for search function

  • Hi ,

    I have the table name stipr and category with the following fields as follows

    iprdate

    iprno

    deliveredto

    classification

    requiredfor

    stcategoryID

    mainstatus

    and category table with the field of

    stcategoryID

    Now my requirement is i have to write the query with the different combination as follows

    for ex:

    declare @IPRdate datetime,

    @IPRNo nvarchar(50),

    @DeliveredTo nvarchar(50),

    @Classification nvarchar(50),

    @RequiredFor nvarchar(50),

    @STCategoryID nvarchar(50),

    @MainStatus nvarchar(50)

    Begin

    if @IPRdate !=null and @IPRNo=null and @DeliveredTo = null AND @Classification = null AND @RequiredFor = null AND @STCategoryID = null AND @MainStatus = null

    Begin

    select * from Store.STIPR,Store.STCategory where IPRdate=@IPRdate

    End

    else if @IPRdate !=null and @IPRNo !=null and @DeliveredTo = null AND @Classification = null AND @RequiredFor = null AND @STCategoryID = null AND @MainStatus = null

    Begin

    select * from Store.STIPR,Store.STCategory where IPRdate=@IPRdate and IPRNo=@IPRNo

    End

    End

    i have the options of searching with all the possibilities.Should i need to write all the the combination as 7X7.or else is there any possibility with the single query

  • Hi,

    try with the case when statement

    select * from Store.STIPR,Store.STCategory where

    iprdate = (case when @IPRdate is null then iprdate else @IPRdate end) and

    iprno = (case when @IPRNo is null then iprno else @IPRNo end) and

    deliveredto = (case when @DeliveredTo is null then deliveredto else @DeliveredTo end) and

    classification = (case when @Classification is null then classification else @Classification end) and

    requiredfor = (case when @RequiredFor is null then requiredfor else @RequiredFor end) and

    stcategoryID = (case when @STCategoryID is null then stcategoryID else @STCategoryID end) and

    mainstatus = (case when @MainStatus is null then mainstatus else @MainStatus end)
