I want to select data from a table with clause involving AND and OR.
Here is my sql query:
select *
from WORKTR
where status='Active' OR status='Inactive'and Start_date='2020-02-10'
However, the query above only return 3 from 10 rows in the table which means it does not return the all of the rows that obey the conditions. Please help me to show the right way to write the query.
You should wrap your condition correctly like below
where status='Active' OR (status='Inactive' and Start_date='2020-02-10')
Add parenthesis, according to your needs
select *
from WORKTR
where (status='Active' OR status='Inactive)'and Start_date='2020-02-10'
OR
select *
from WORKTR
where status='Active' OR (status='Inactive'and Start_date='2020-02-10')
OR
select *
from WORKTR
where status IN ('Active','Inactive') and Start_date='2020-02-10'

I have tried these:
1.if (EXEC SQL EXIST SELECT ...)
2.EXEC SQL IF EXIST SELECT ...
but none of these work,any help?
Select the count and check whether it is zero. Something along this line:
int a;
EXEC SQL SELECT count(*) INTO :a
FROM some_table
WHERE some_condition;
if (a != 0)...

Below is the expression it is used to concatenate but for some reason the result is giving just first two letter of each string. I'm little confuse what's wrong with it. Below expression is working fine in sybase but not in sql server.Thank you
Example:
F
G
Required Output:
For Young Musicians Program
GV- Record Sheet.
IF(ISNULL(fd_m_an_report),'', fd_m_an_report ) +
IF((NOT ISNULL(fd_m_an_report)) AND (NOT ISNULL(fd_m_comment)), '~r~n~r~n', '') +
IF(ISNULL(fd_m_comment ),'', fd_m_comment)
This looks like you are using Excel functions. To get something similar in SQL Server syntax you need:
select
ISNULL(fd_m_an_report,'') +
case when fd_m_an_report + fd_m_comment is null then '' else '~r~n~r~n' end +
ISNULL(fd_m_comment,'')
from MyTable

Based on the type of employee in a table I need to return a 0 or 1 to then be output to specific spot in a file
For EXB return 1 for all other types FTR, FTRG, PTRG and SALR return 0.
select case when type = 'EXB' then 1 else 0 end
from employee
Use case <column> when 'EXB' then 1 else 0 end as shown in the SQL Fiddle to select values in the expression query.
Alternately, use a lookup table to map from your codes to the numeric values.
Then use one of the XML modifiers in the query to return an xml fragment.

I have a question about SQL Server's IF clause.
For example - look at this code:
IF (#logpath IS NOT NULL || #ptd IS NOT NULL)
Can I use || in the condition when I use IF statement?
Is this correct?
|| is not valid Transact-SQL syntax. You need to user 'OR' or 'AND'
Example
IF #logpath is not null OR #ptd is not null
BEGIN
-- do something
END
You cannot use the || operator in SQL Server. Please refer the following link which shows the list of logical operators in SQL Server
