Optional Arguments in WHERE Clause [duplicate]

Answer 1

SELECT NAME   
FROM TABLE   
WHERE       
  City = case when isnull(@City ,'') = '' then City
                        else @City end
AND      
  Gender = case when isnull(@Gender ,'') = '' then Gender
                        else @Gender end
AND  
  Age = case when isnull(@Age ,0) = 0 then Age
                        else @Age end    

Answer 2

what about this?

SELECT
    NAME
FROM TABLE 
WHERE CITY = COALESCE(@CITY, CITY)
    AND GENDER = COALESCE(@GENDER, GENDER)
    AND AGE = COALESCE(@AGE, AGE)

Answer 3

Try something like this:

SELECT NAME 
FROM TABLE 
WHERE 
    City = IsNull(@City, City) AND
    Gender = IsNull(@Gender, Gender) AND
    Age = IsNull(@Age, Age)

OR:

SELECT NAME 
FROM TABLE 
WHERE 
    (City = @City OR @City IS NULL) AND
    (Gender = @Gender OR @Gender IS NULL) AND
    (Age = @Age OR @Age IS NULL)

Answer 4

Alternatively to the ISNULL / COALESCE options, you can test the parameters for being null:

SELECT NAME  
FROM TABLE  
WHERE  
    (@City IS NULL OR City = @City)
AND 
    (@Gender IS NULL OR Gender = @Gender)
AND 
    (@Age IS NULL OR Age = @Age) 

Answer 5

Possibly this:

create procedure myProc
    --Params
@CITY VARCHAR(100) = NULL,
@GENDER VARCHAR(100) = NULL,
@AGE VARCHAR(100) = NULL
as

SELECT NAME FROM [TABLE]
WHERE ISNULL(CITY,'')=ISNULL(@CITY,ISNULL(CITY,''))
AND ISNULL(GENDER,'')=ISNULL(@GENDER,ISNULL(GENDER,''))
AND ISNULL(AGE,'')=ISNULL(@AGE,ISNULL(AGE,''))
go

Assuming the columns in the WHERE clause are nullable, using ISNULL to avoid null comparison.
