Changing a SUM returned NULL to zero

Question

I have a stored procedure as follows:

CREATE PROC [dbo].[Incidents]
(@SiteName varchar(200))
AS
SELECT
(  
    SELECT SUM(i.Logged)  
    FROM tbl_Sites s  
             


        

Answer 1

You could wrap the SELECT in another SELECT like so:

 CREATE PROC [dbo].[Incidents]
(@SiteName varchar(200))

AS

SELECT COALESCE(TotalIncidents  ,0)
FROM (
  SELECT
  (  
    SELECT SUM(i.Logged) as TotalIncidents  
    FROM tbl_Sites s  
    INNER JOIN tbl_Incidents i  
    ON s.Location = i.Location  
    WHERE s.Sites = @SiteName AND i.[month] = DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, GetDate()) -1,0)  
    GROUP BY s.Sites  
  )  AS LoggedIncidents
)
