Embeded case in where clause - causing problems.

Hi.
I have a sp that allows the user to search based on a variable set of parame
ters for example just a home phone or just a buss. phone however when search
ing by last name the user also has to supply the ZIP
optionally he can filter that search by first name or address. I am trying t
o accomplish that by using embede cases - the procedure compiles - but I do
not get the results I want
For example if i pass in '%s%' for @.Lastname and '%1%' for zip - it does not
work - I am sure that are fields with those values in the db
(note: everying worked as expected before I added the embeded cases (and wil
dcard stuff))
the following is the SP - (sorry for the long snippet)
ALTER procedure GetDupCheckResults
(
@.HomePhone varchar(50),
@.BussPhone varchar(50),
@.Email varchar(50),
@.LastName varchar(50),
@.FirstName varchar(50),
@.Address varchar(50),
@.FirmZip varchar(50),
@.PersonZip varchar(50),
@.FirmName varchar(50)
)
as
begin
SELECT nmfid, nmffirst, nmflast, nafcompany, nafadd1, nafadd2, naftype +
' (' + nafdesc + ') ' AS [Adress Type], npfarea + '-' + npfphone AS Phone
FROM
(
select v_nmf_naf_npf_linked.* from
v_nmf_naf_npf_linked inner join
(
Select distinct npfseq from
(
select
npfseq,'HomePhone' FoundSource
from
v_nmf_naf_npf_Linked
where
npfArea + '-' + NPFPhone = @.HomePhone
and
naftype = 'HOME'
and
(
@.HomePhone <> ''
and
@.HomePhone <> '%%'
)
union
select
npfseq,'BussPhone'
from
v_nmf_naf_npf_Linked
where
npfArea+'-'+NPFPhone = @.BussPhone
and
naftype = 'BF'
and
@.BussPhone <> ''
union
select
npfseq,'NameAddress'
from
V_nmf_naf_npf_Linked
where
@.PersonZIP like nafzip
and
@.LastName like nmflast
and
-- optionally allow filter on address and last name
1 =
Case @.Address
When '' then 1
When '%%' then 1 -- when wild cards are in use
Else
(
Case
when @.Address like nafAdd1 then 1
when @.Address like nafAdd2 then 1
else
0
end
)
end
and
1 =
Case @.LastName
When '' then 1
When '%%' then 1
Else
(
Case
when @.Lastname like nmfLast then 1
else 0
end
)
end
and not
(
(@.LastName = '' or @.PersonZip = '')
or
(@.LastName = '%%' or @.PersonZip = '%%')
)
union
select
npfseq,'Company'
from
V_nmf_naf_npf_Linked
where
nafZip like @.FirmZip
and
nafCompany like @.FirmName
and not @.FirmName = ''
and not @.FirmZip = ''
and not @.FirmName = '%%'
and not @.FirmZip = '%%'
)Temptab
)
unionResult on unionResult.npfseq = v_nmf_naf_npf_Linked.npfseq
) dd
end
thank you for slogging thru it.You are sure you have people with the last name '%s%' and zip '%1%'?
What country is this?
Most likely you don't have such data in your database, but that is exactly
what this code will try to find, since your condition (on last name, for
example) is
@.Lastname like nmfLast
While this stored procedure looks far more complicated than it needs to
be, my guess is that you want
nmfLast LIKE @.Lastname
instead of the other way around.

Embedded images based on a boolean

I'm making a table, and based on a variable in a specific row, I want to display one of two embedded images, icon_good or icon_bad. I'm currently using IIf (Fields!IsCompleted.Value, icon_good, icon_bad) as BackgroundImage.Value, but it gives me errors, and the type field refuses to fill itself in no matter what. I've tried google searching and searching here on the forums, and I can find info about embedding images, but not how to selectively show them. Hopefully this is just a simple trick and I'll be able to get some quick help here.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you try with "".
IIf (Fields!IsCompleted.Value, "icon_good", "icon_bad") as BackgroundImage.Value

efficient select

It seems I should be able to do 1 select and both return that
recordset and be able to set a variable from that recordset.

eg.
Declare @.refid int
Select t.* from mytable as t --return the recordset
Set @.refid = t.refid

the above doesn't work-how can I do it without making a second trip to
the database?
Thanks,

should be :
select @.refid = t.refid from mytable as t where <your condition|||Rick (rick@.abasoftware.com) writes:

You can't both return a result set and set a variable in the same
SELECT statement.

In many cases, it is not very ineffecient to access the table twice,
as the second read will be from cache. But if the search conditions
calls for a longer execution time, one possibility is to buffer the
result in a temp table or table variable, and then access that table
twice.
