How do I write the following query.

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

SQL-Server-2008R2

I want all the contactids EXCEPT where OptOut or Exception field is True.
For instance : If OptOut of ContactID:3 is T than Query will fetch ContactID 1 and 2.

ContactID OptIN OptOut Exception
1 T NULL NULL
2 T NULL NULL
3 F T NULL

I m using following query but I guess missing some logic in AND/OR Condition.

SQL

SELECT
 A.ContactID,
 B.CASLOptIN,
 B.CASLOptOut,
 B.CASLException
FROM
 Contact A INNER JOIN GE_ContactInfo B
  ON A.CONTACTID=B.CONTACTID
WHERE
 A.Accountid ='XXXXXXXXX'
AND
(
 (B.CASLOptOut ='F' or B.CASLOptOut = null)
OR
 (B.CASLEXCEPTION ='F' or B.CASLEXCEPTION = null)
)

Not Null Condition is not working....dont knw where I missing silly logic.
Please any help will be appreciable.
Thanks.

 B.CASLOptOut,
 B.CASLException
FROM
 Contact A INNER JOIN GE_ContactInfo B
  ON A.CONTACTID=B.CONTACTID

Solution 3

Your query is currently returning records where either field is false or null, because you've used an OR to combine the conditions. Try:

SQL

WHERE
   A.Accountid ='XXXXXXXXX'
AND
   (B.CASLOptOut ='F' Or B.CASLOptOut = null)
AND
   (B.CASLEXCEPTION ='F' Or B.CASLEXCEPTION = null)

I guess it will be OR.
bcz i need either of Optout or exception NOT both....i.e even if One succeed it will work.

That's not the question you asked. You said you want to exclude records where either CASLOptOut or CASLException are true. The query you posted only excludes records where both columns are true.
