You can do the following <cfparam name="queryParams.productgroupid" default="-10001">
and then run the query as <cfquery> DECLARE @productgroupid int; SET @productgroupid = #queryParams.productgroupid#; SELECT Title, ProductID FROM aTable WHERE Stock > 0 AND m.ProductGroupID = coalesce(nullIf(@productgroupid,-10001),m.ProductGroupID) </cfquery> What that will do is the following: if @productgroupid is -10001 it will set it to null, and then the coalesce will set the right side of the where clause to m.ProductGroupID which will mean the where clause says AND m.ProductGroupID = m.ProductGroupID which is always true and therefore not limiting. If however its not -10001, then it will run the actual query as you want it to. >I currently have a (very complex) query in the format... > >SELECT Title, ProductID >FROM aTable >WHERE Stock > 0 ><cfif len(trim(queryParams.productgroupid)) GT 0> > AND ProductGroupID = #val(productgroupid)# ></cfif> > >I wish to move this query into MSSQL server for performance reasons, how do >I go about running the conditional code?
