USING CASE IN SELECT STATEMENT


USING CASE IN SELECT STATEMENT/ IMPLEMENT IF-THEN-ELSE LOGIC IN SELECT STATEMENT


With Example let us understand, How to use CASE Condition in SQL SELECT Statement.

I have table EMP having column EMPLOYEEID, MARITALSTATUS, GENDER.

Say if we want to Display under following condition

  •  If MaritalStatus is M, Then display it as Married, If MaritalStatus is S, then display it as Single and Other than M or S, then Display it as Unknown.
  •  If Gender is M, Then display it as Male, If Gender is F, then display as Female and Other than M or F, then Display it as Unknown.


This can be achieved in many ways, for example using REPLACE Function etc, but since my intention is on CASE Statement, I will Continue to demonstrate it using CASE.

Let’s do it for Condition 1 first:

As per Condition 1, we can use CASE STATEMENT as Shown:

SELECT EMPLOYEEID
                    ,MARITALSTATUS
                    ,MARITALSTATUS_EXPN = CASE MARITALSTATUS
                                         WHEN 'M'
                                                             THEN 'MARRIED'
                                         WHEN 'S'
                                                             THEN 'SINGLE'
                                         ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
                                         END
FROM EMP

I’m using MARITALSTATUS_EXPN to display condition met column.

When MaritalStatus is M, then ‘Married’ is displayed and When MaritalStatus is S, ‘Single’ is displayed and anything other than this will be considered as UNKNOWN.

The result is of query is shown in below snippet:

Similarly, we can write CASE statement for Second condition as shown below:


SELECT EMPLOYEEID
      ,GENDER
      ,GENDER_EXPN = CASE GENDER
            WHEN 'M'
                  THEN 'MALE'
            WHEN 'F'
                  THEN 'FEMALE'
            ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
            END
FROM EMP

Combining both the expression above to get result in single Query, 

 
SELECT EMPLOYEEID
        ,GENDER
        ,GENDER_EXPN = CASE GENDER
               WHEN 'M'
                       THEN 'MALE'
               WHEN 'F'
                       THEN 'FEMALE'
               ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
               END
        ,MARITALSTATUS_EXPN = CASE MARITALSTATUS
               WHEN 'M'
                       THEN 'MARRIED'
               WHEN 'S'
                       THEN 'SINGLE'
               ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
               END
FROM EMP

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.

SSIS: The Value Was Too Large To Fit In The Output Column

I had a SSIS package where I was calling a stored procedure in OLEDB Source and it was returning a “The Value Was Too Large to Fit in the Output Column” error. Well, My Datatype in OLEDB source was matching with my OLEDB Destination table. However, when I googled, we got solutions like to increase the output of OLEDB Source using Advanced Editor option . I was not at all comfortable with their solution as my source, destination and my intermediate transformation all are having same length and data type and I don’t want to change. Then I found that I was missing SET NOCOUNT ON option was missing in Stored Procedure. Once I added it, my data flow task ran successfully.

Lets say we have two .txt files in Path D:/Source/ . My Requirement is to move the files from Source Folder ( D:/Source/ ) to Destination Folder ( D:/Dest/ ). Step 1: Open a New job Step 2: Now right click and Create a New Contexts from Repository. Give some Name and give Next. Step 3: Now Fill in the Source Directory Details where the loop on files should happen as shown in the snippet and give finish. Step 4: Now Context is created and The values will be changing based on each file in Folder. Step 5: Click and Drag the context from Repository to Context Job Window below the Job Designer. Step 6: If we Expand the Contexts, We can find the variable SourcePath is holdi...
