Help in Case statement

Hi,

I have to use case statement in where condition of a sql query. I get an error

Incorrect syntax near '<'.

Declare @.iPostingID int

set @.iPostingId = 1

Select PostingID from JobsDB_JobPostings where DateDiff(day,PostingDate,getdate())

case @.iPostingId

when 1 then '<1'

when 2 then '<7'

when 3 then '<30'

when 4 then '<60'

when 5 then '<90'

end

Can anyone help me please

Thanks,

Uma Ramiya

Hi,

Maybe you want this:

Code Snippet

SELECT

CASE PostingID

WHEN 1 THEN '<1'

WHEN 2 THEN '<7'

WHEN 3 THEN '<30'

WHEN 4 THEN '<60'

WHEN 5 THEN '<90'

END

FROM JobsDB_JobPostings WHERE DATEDIFF(DAY,PostingDate,GETDATE())

Regards,

|||The parameter @.iPostingId is used for comparison and not the column field.|||Well, you need the select before the CASE|||Hi,

We use similar construct in our daily life here. Have a look on following query, this will really work.

DECLARE @.iPostingID int

SET @.iPostingId = 1

SELECT
PostingID
FROM
JobsDB_JobPostings
WHERE
DateDiff(day,PostingDate,getdate()) < (CASE
WHEN @.iPostingId = 1 THEN 1
WHEN @.iPostingId = 2 THEN 7
WHEN @.iPostingId = 3 THEN 30
WHEN @.iPostingId = 4 THEN 60
WHEN @.iPostingId = 5 THEN 90
END)|||

Hi I have the following case.i would like a precise and efficient SQL Statement for it.

I have 7 parameters which are used for comparison. I need to run the query with these parameters. which ever is not null should be compared and the null ones should be ignored. AS a result I end with lots of "if' statements as the parameters form a lot of copmbination. Is there any way to cut short the code

Help for bcp command for export data to txt file

I have follow the syntax to export table to .txt file like this.

bcp UL.dbo.CFP OUT C:\a.txt -T -c -S NOTEBOOK-F47731

But it always show error which is:

Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '.'.

I have try it many time. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Sorry if this is a simplistic answer, but have you tried putting single quotes around your query like so...

'bcp UL.dbo.CFP OUT C:\a.txt -T -c -S NOTEBOOK-F47731'

Here's how I'm using bcp at the moment.

USE MYDATABASE
GO

DECLARE @.LINE_ITEM_DATA SYSNAME
SET @.LINE_ITEM_DATA = 'bcp MYDATABASE.LINE_ITEM_DETAIL OUT c:\LineItemData.txt -T -c -t ","'
EXEC XP_CMDSHELL @.LINE_ITEM_DATA, NO_OUTPUT

Hope that helps!

be able to be converted into smalldatetime (for example dates before
19000101 and after 20790606)

You will get an error, as '812005' does not convert to datetime:
select convert(datetime,'812005')
Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in
an out-of-range datetime value.
The most reliable format for a date string is YYYYMMDD:
select convert(datetime,'20050801')
