IF condition in view in SQL Server
Views only allow select statements as stated in here
if you need to do if on column values you can use a
SELECT
CASE WHEN COLUMN1 = 1 THEN COLUMNX ELSE COLUMNY END
FROM TABLE1
if your need exceeds this you should create a select from a table valued function instead of a view.
What you need is a simple Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE DOSOMETHING
(
@ID INT
)
AS
BEGIN
IF @ID > 100
SELECT 1 AS ID,'ME' AS NAME, GETDATE() AS VARIABLEDATECOL, NEWID() AS VARIABLEGUID
ELSE
SELECT 2 AS ID, 'YOU' AS NAME
END
No I don't believe this is possible.
You could use a stored procedure instead to achieve this functionality.
You could try something sneaky with a UNION :
SELECT {fieldlist}
FROM Table1
WHERE EXISTS(SELECT EmpID FROM EmployeeDetails WHERE ID = 200)
UNION ALL
SELECT {fieldlist}
FROM Table2
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT EmpID FROM EmployeeDetails WHERE ID = 200)
This method would require both SELECT statements to return the same set of fields, although their sources might be different.
