IF ELSE Statement in SQL

Question

SELECT S.Id, S.Name, S.Version, S.SoftNo
FROM SOFTWARE S WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE (IF S.Version = 0 THEN S.Version > 0 ELSE S.Version = @Version)
AND (IF S.SoftNo = 0 THEN          


        

Answer 1

Why not do

SELECT S.Id, S.Name, S.Version, S.SoftNo
FROM SOFTWARE S WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE 
(
    (@Version = 0 OR (@Version <> 0 AND S.Version = @Version))
    AND
    (@SoftNo = 0 OR (@SoftNo <> 0 AND S.SoftNo = @SoftNo))
)

(Do you really need the NOLOCK?)
