[SQL] Query execution based on a condition
I have a query similar to the one shown below but, depending on the value of a field, only the first SELECT statement shoud execute and the other 3 should be ignored. Is there a way to achieve this situation? SELECT fields FROM tblTable WHERE condition UNION SELECT fields FROM tblTable WHERE condition UNION SELECT fields FROM tblTable WHERE condition UNION SELECT fields FROM tblTable WHERE condition Respectfully, Jorge Maldonado

Change the conditions of other 3 queries, so those shall give empty row sets depending on your value. 29.12.2012, 23:06, "JORGE MALDONADO" : > I have a query similar to the one shown below but, depending on the value of > a field, only the first SELECT statement shoud execute and the other 3 should > be ignored.

Is there a way to achieve this situation? Probably so, but is hard to be specific without more information. In a particular the condition/field being tested and values being tested for.
