Is there a way to avoid the error Null or empty full-text predicate in the example below ?
DECLARE @SearchText VARCHAR(1000);
SET @SearchText = ''
SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE
/*
SOME CONTITIONS
AND
*/
(
@SearchText = ''
OR
(
@SearchText <> ''
AND
CONTAINS((myField1, myField2), @SearchText)
)
)
I could be doing like this, but I want to avoid duplicating the code :
DECLARE @SearchText VARCHAR(1000);
SET @SearchText = ''
IF @SearchText = ''
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE
/*
SOME CONTITIONS
*/
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE
/*
SOME CONTITIONS
AND
*/
(
@SearchText = ''
OR
(
@SearchText <> ''
AND
CONTAINS((myField1, myField2), @SearchText)
)
)
END
[EDIT]
I found the answer here
So the solution is to set the @SearchText to '""'
instead of leaving it empty.
