Stored procedure with conditional results

Question

I want to write a stored procedure that works something like this:

SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b

if it returns rows, return these rows; if not, return

SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B IS NULL

Edit:

He believes that there should be a way to create such a procedure so that it executes the first request once and starts the second request only if necessary .

The end of editing.

The best I could do is to follow that (theoretically) execute the first request twice, if possibly caching it:

IF EXISTS (SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b) THEN
    SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b
ELSE
    SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B IS NULL

What is it worth it in Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Answer 1

. , .

SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b


IF (@@ROWCOUNT = 0)
BEGIN
    SELECT * from T where T.A = @a and T.B IS NULL
END

Answer 2

, , . - :

declare @result1 table ( ... )
insert into @result1 select * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b

if (@@rowcount = 0)
   select * from T where T.A = @a and T.B is null
else
   select * from @result1

Answer 3

:

SELECT * from T where (T.A = @a and T.B = @b) OR
( 0=(SELECT COUNT(*) T1 where (T1.A = @a and T1.B = @b) ) 
  AND T.A = @a and T.b IS NULL)

Answer 4

:

Select ...
From T
Where T.A = @a
    And T.B = @b
Union All
Select ...
From T
Where T.A = @a
    And T.B Is Null
    And Not Exists  (
                    Select 1
                    From T
                    Where T.A = @a
                        And T.B = @b
                    )

:

Select ...
From T
Where T.A = @a
    And T.B = @b
Union All
(Select ...
From T
Where T.A = @a
    And T.B Is Null
Except
Select ...
From T
Where T.A = @a
    And T.B = @b)

Answer 5

, , :

create function fun(@a <aType>, @b <bType>)
 returns @result (<...columns...>)
as begin
 insert into @result
 select * from T where T.A = @a and T.B = @b;

 if  (@@ROWCOUNT = 0) begin
  insert into @result
  select * from T where T.A = @a and T.B is null;
 end;
 return;
end;
GO

If there were real performance issues here, I would step back and look at this database project. Why do you have zeros? Why are you trying to use two filters? Can they be modeled in different ways? If not, maybe a little denormalization?

Answer 6

EDIT The answer has been edited after editing the question.

CREATE PROCEDURE myconditionalsp
@a  <type>,
@b  <type>
AS

SELECT * from T 
where 
    -- the second condition is true AND the first condition is false
    (((T.A = @a) and (T.B IS NULL)) AND NOT ((T.A = @a) and (T.B = @b)))
    OR 
    -- the first condition is true (regardless what is the second condition)
    ((T.A = @a) and (T.B = @b))
GO
