I have a SQL server table in which there are 2 columns that I want to update either of their values according to a flag sent to the stored procedure along with the new value, something like:
UPDATE
table_Name
SET
CASE
WHEN @flag = '1' THEN column_A += @new_value
WHEN @flag = '0' THEN column_B += @new_value
END AS Total
WHERE
ID = @ID
What is the correct SQL server code to do so??
The current answers are fine and should work ok, but what's wrong with the more simple, more obvious, and more maintainable:
IF @flag = 1
UPDATE table_name SET column_A = column_A + @new_value WHERE ID = @ID;
ELSE
UPDATE table_name SET column_B = column_B + @new_value WHERE ID = @ID;
This is much easier to read albeit this is a very simple query.
Here's a working example courtesy of @snyder: SqlFiddle.
Something like this should work:
UPDATE
table_Name
SET
column_A = CASE WHEN @flag = '1' THEN column_A + @new_value ELSE column_A END,
column_B = CASE WHEN @flag = '0' THEN column_B + @new_value ELSE column_B END
WHERE
ID = @ID
Since you're using SQL 2008:
UPDATE
table_Name
SET
column_A
= CASE
WHEN @flag = '1' THEN @new_value
ELSE 0
END + column_A,
column_B
= CASE
WHEN @flag = '0' THEN @new_value
ELSE 0
END + column_B
WHERE
ID = @ID
If you were using SQL 2012:
UPDATE
table_Name
SET
column_A = column_A + IIF(@flag = '1', @new_value, 0),
column_B = column_B + IIF(@flag = '0', @new_value, 0)
WHERE
ID = @ID
this worked great:
UPDATE
table_Name
SET
column_A = CASE WHEN @flag = '1' THEN column_A + @new_value ELSE column_A END,
column_B = CASE WHEN @flag = '0' THEN column_B + @new_value ELSE column_B END
WHERE
ID = @ID
DECLARE @JCnt int=null
SEt @JCnt=(SELECT COUNT( ISNUll(EmpCode,0)) FROM tbl_Employees WHERE EmpCode=1 )
UPDATE #TempCode
SET janCA= CASE WHEN @JCnt>0 THEN (SELECT SUM (ISNUll(Amount,0)) FROM tbl_Salary WHERE Code=1 )ELSE 0 END
WHERE code=1
