Is there a opposite function to ISNULL in sql server? To do Is not null?

Question

I have this code in my select statement

ISNULL(a.PolicySignedDateTime,aq.Amount) AS \'Signed Premium\',

But I want to see if \"a.PolicySign

Answer 1

CREATE FUNCTION ISNUL (@DATA sql_variant) RETURNS BIT AS 
  BEGIN
  IF (@DATA IS NULL) RETURN 1;
  RETURN 0
END

SELECT dbo.ISNUL(NULL) -- 1
SELECT dbo.ISNUL('123') -- 0
SELECT dbo.ISNUL(123) -- 0
SELECT dbo.ISNUL(123) ^ dbo.ISNUL(NULL), dbo.ISNUL('123') ^ dbo.ISNUL(NULL), dbo.ISNUL('123') ^ dbo.ISNUL(123), dbo.ISNUL(NULL) ^ dbo.ISNUL(NULL)  -- 1,1,0,0

Or when XOR is in focus:

CREATE FUNCTION XOR (@D1 sql_variant, @D2 sql_variant) RETURNS BIT AS 
BEGIN
  IF (@D1 IS NULL AND @D2 IS NULL) RETURN 0;
  IF (@D1 IS NOT NULL AND @D2 IS NOT NULL) RETURN 0;
  RETURN 1
END

SELECT XOR(NULL,123), XOR('123',NULL), XOR(NULL,NULL), XOR('123',123)
SELECT 'TRUE' where XOR(NULL,123) = 'true'
SELECT 'FALSE' where XOR('123',123) = 'false'
