[Forums] Using If's and selects

Hi Miguel,

Conditionals in SQL are handled by the CASE statement. However, in your case, do you need to handle that in the query? Why not have an assignment after the query that assigns the values?

Also, having subqueries inside a SELECT might not be the best way to go about this. Do you really need them to be seperate columns? If not, you could do e.g. just

SELECT {StatusCore2}.[Label], COUNT(1)
FROM {DocumentCore2}
INNER JOIN {StatusCore2} ON {StatusCore2}.[Id] = {DocumentCore2}.[Status]
GROUP BY {StatusCore2}.[Label]

and then loop over the result and post-proces that. Or, if you do not even need the actual number of documents with the statusses, just a

SELECT DISTINCT {StatusCore2}.[Label]
FROM {DocumentCore2}
INNER JOIN {StatusCore2} ON {StatusCore2}.[Id] = {DocumentCore2}.[Status]
