If you want to do this kind of dynamic query, I believe you need to be
using the CASE WHEN THEN ELSE END format for ms-sql, but that will be
a beast to create.
If you want to do this with CF creating a dynamic query, you'd do
something like this:
<cfquery>
<cfif form.what = 1>
select * from candidate where
<cfelse>
select * from advertiser where
</cfif>
<cfif form.by = 1>
<cfif form.what eq 1>
first_name like
'%#form.dastring#%' or last_name like '%#form.dastring#%'
<cfelse>
company_name like
'%#form.dastring#%'
</cfif>
<cfelse>
<cfif form.by = 2>
<cfif form.what eq 1>
email like
'%#form.dastring#%'
<cfelse>
contact_email
like '%#form.dastring#%'
</cfif>
<cfelse>
id = '#form.dastring#'
</cfif>
