not sure how to title this but here is my scenario
working on Webmatrix, built in sqlCE DB.
Have a table with multiple bit fields (3 fields)
what i need is to search for all records but skip those where any one of these three bit fields is False
my query looks like this
Select * From Tr where Tr.ClID=28 and (VApproved<>'False' or PApproved<>'False' or CApproved<>'False')
Now if i search for ClID=28 i get 7 records and with the above query also get 7 records. Se basically the second part of the where condition is not working.
Appreciate your help and assistance.
Thanks,
Addition Data Looks like this
ClID VApproved PApproved CApproved
**** ********* ********* *********
28 True True True
28 True True True
28 NULL True True
28 NULL True True
28 NULL True True
28 NULL True True
28 NULL False True
If you need to skip any with False
value, then you it's just your condition that isn't correct, it should be:
Select * From Tr where Tr.ClID=28 and VApproved<>'False' and PApproved<>'False' and CApproved<>'False'
i.e. all of them must not be false, so we use AND
not OR
. And considering your NULL requirement it should be like this:
Select * From Tr where Tr.ClID=28 and (VApproved=1 OR VApproved IS NULL) and (PApproved=1 OR PApproved IS NULL) and (CApproved=1 OR PApproved IS NULL)
