SQL Conditional AND | 易学教程

问题

I want to determine the AND clause based on the value of the current row. So for example, my job table has 4 date columns: offer_date, accepted_date, start_date, reported_date. I want to check against an exchange rate based on the date. I know the reported_date is never null, but it's my last resort, so I have a priority order for which to join against the exchange_rate table. I'm not quite sure how to do this with a CASE statement, if that's even the right approach.

SELECT * FROM job j
INNER JOIN exchange_rate er ON j.currency_id = er.currency_id AND er.date =
(
  -- use offer_date if not null
  -- use accepted_date if above is null
  -- use start_date if above two are null
  -- use reported_date if above three are null
)

回答1:

Should just be a simple coalesce, so something like:

SELECT      * 

FROM        job j

INNER JOIN  exchange_rate er 
    ON      j.currency_id = er.currency_id 
    AND     er.date = COALESCE( offer_date, accepted_date, start_date, reported_date )

回答2:

CASE statement in a where clause.

CASE WHEN offer_date is not null THEN offer_date
     WHEN accepted_date IS NOT NULL THEN accepted_date 
     WHEN start_date  IS NOT NULL THEN start_date
     WHEN reported_date  IS NOT NULL THEN reported_date 
     ELSE '' END

it will work as per your require condition

One way is a case statement:

SELECT * FROM job j
INNER JOIN exchange_rate er
        ON j.currency_id = er.currency_id
       AND er.date =
case when j.offer_date is not null then j.offer_date
     when j.offer_date is null and j.accepted_date is not null then j.accepted_date
     when j.offer_date is null and j.accepted_Date is null and j.start_date is not null then j.start_date
     else j.reported_date
     end

You can use a CASE statement in a WHERE clause. I have used something them like:

field1 = CASE WHEN field2 IS NOT NULL field2 ELSE field1 END

So when you hit the else clause the AND is optional. Does that make sense?
