I want to generate qualify_flag as '1' always when device_end_dt = '9999-12-31 23:29:59'. If it is
not '9999-12-31 23:29:59' then if DEVICE_END_DT + 1 day = CREATION_DATE then qualify_flag is 0 else 1.
DEVICE_END_DT is TIMESTAMP(0), CREATION_DATE is TIMESTAMP(6).
CREATION_DATE column doesn't have any value which is '9999-12-31'.
Below case statement is failing with invalid date, seems like '9999-12-31' is coming somehow and ('9999-12-31' + 1) which is ambiguous.
select
case When
Cast(DEVICE_END_DT AS DATE) <> CAST('9999-12-31' AS DATE)
THEN
case when CAST((Cast(DEVICE_END_DT AS DATE) + 1) AS DATE) = Cast(CREATION_DATE AS DATE)
then 0
else 1
end
case when
Cast(DEVICE_END_DT AS DATE) = CAST('9999-12-31' AS DATE)
THEN
1
end
end as qualify_flag
FROM ABC;
This is your logic simplified:
CASE
WHEN Cast(DEVICE_END_DT AS DATE) = Cast(CREATION_DATE AS DATE) - 1
THEN 0
ELSE 1
END
Btw, better use a date literal DATE '9999-12-31'
instead of CAST('9999-12-31' AS DATE)
.
What is your final business question you're trying to solve? Looks like identifying bad data in a slowly changing dimension.
