Case statement within a where clause - based on 2 variables

  • Hi,

    Using the following code (and adjusting the variables to test the different scenarios), I need to build on the existing WHERE clause, to incorporate a CASE statement.

    USE [myDB]

    GO

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[myTable](

    [Customer] [nvarchar](20) NULL,

    [Type] [tinyint] NULL,

    [DueDate1] [datetime] NULL,

    [DueDate2] [datetime] NULL

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 1', 1, 'Jan 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Feb 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 2', 1, 'Feb 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Mar 09 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 3', 1, 'Mar 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Mar 23 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 4', 1, 'Jan 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Apr 12 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 5', 2, 'Jan 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Apr 25 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 6', 1, 'Jan 08 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Aug 17 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 7', 2, 'Jan 03 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Apr 04 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    INSERT dbo.myTable

    VALUES('Customer 8', 1, 'Jan 15 2015 12:00:00:000AM', 'Jun 05 2015 12:00:00:000AM');

    DECLARE

    @DueDate1DATETIME,

    @DueDate2DATETIME,

    @Condition1BIT,

    @Condition2BIT,

    @TypeINTEGER

    --Adjust dates and conditions to test variations

    SET @DueDate1 = 'Jan 01 2015 12:00:00:000AM';

    SET @DueDate2 = 'Mar 31 2015 12:00:00:000AM';

    SET @Condition1 = 1;

    SET @Condition2 = 1;

    SET @Type = 1;

    SELECT Customer, [Type], DueDate1, DueDate2 FROM dbo.myTable mt

    WHERE mt.[Type] = @Type

    --AND to include CASE @Condition1 and @Condition2

    The conditions are:

    If @Condition1 = 1

    mt.DueDate1 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2

    If @Condition2 = 1

    mt.DueDate2 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2

    If @Condition1 = 1 AND @Condition2 = 1

    mt.DueDate1 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2

    AND mt.DueDate2 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

  • How about this:

    SELECT Customer, [Type], DueDate1, DueDate2 FROM dbo.myTable mt

    WHERE mt.[Type] = @Type

    AND ((@Condition1=1 AND mt.DueDate1 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2) OR (@Condition1<>1))

    AND ((@Condition2=1 AND mt.DueDate2 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2) OR (@Condition2<>1))

    ...or am I missing something?

  • Or this?

    select Customer

    ,Type

    ,DueDate1

    ,DueDate2

    from dbo.myTable mt

    where mt.Type = @Type

    and (case when (

    @Condition1 = 1

    and @Condition2 = 1

    and mt.DueDate1 between @DueDate1 and @DueDate2

    and mt.DueDate2 between @DueDate1 and @DueDate2

    ) then 1

    when (

    @Condition1 = 1

    and mt.DueDate1 between @DueDate1 and @DueDate2

    ) then 1

    when (

    @Condition2 = 1

    and mt.DueDate2 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2

    ) then 1

    else 0

    end) = 1

  • I would simplify it.

    SELECT Customer, [Type], DueDate1, DueDate2

    FROM dbo.myTable mt

    WHERE mt.[Type] = @Type

    AND (mt.DueDate1 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2 OR @Condition1 = 0)

    AND (mt.DueDate2 BETWEEN @DueDate1 AND @DueDate2 OR @Condition2 = 0)

    OPTION(RECOMPILE)

    Note the RECOMPILE. This article explains the reason to use it, but you should test if it's the best option in your scenario.
