下面的示例将查询作为布尔表达式的一部分执行，然后根据布尔表达式的结果执行略有不同的语句块。每个语句块以BEGIN开始，以END结束。

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
DECLARE @AvgWeight decimal(8,2), @BikeCount int
IF 
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Production.Product WHERE Name LIKE 'Touring-3000%' ) > 5
BEGIN
   SET @BikeCount = 
        (SELECT COUNT(*) 
         FROM Production.Product 
         WHERE Name LIKE 'Touring-3000%');
   SET @AvgWeight = 
        (SELECT AVG(Weight) 
         FROM Production.Product 
         WHERE Name LIKE 'Touring-3000%');
   PRINT 'There are ' + CAST(@BikeCount AS varchar(3)) + ' Touring-3000 bikes.'
   PRINT 'The average weight of the top 5 Touring-3000 bikes is ' + CAST(@AvgWeight AS varchar(8)) + '.';
END
ELSE 
BEGIN
SET @AvgWeight = 
        (SELECT AVG(Weight)
         FROM Production.Product 
         WHERE Name LIKE 'Touring-3000%' );
   PRINT 'Average weight of the Touring-3000 bikes is ' + CAST(@AvgWeight AS varchar(8)) + '.' ;
END ;
GO

使用嵌套IF…其他语句 下面的例子展示了IF…ELSE语句如何嵌套在另一个语句中。将@Number变量设置为5、50和500，以测试每条语句。

DECLARE @Number int
SET @Number = 50
IF @Number > 100
   PRINT 'The number is large.'
ELSE 
   BEGIN
      IF @Number < 10
      PRINT 'The number is small'
   ELSE
      PRINT 'The number is medium'
   END ;
GO

CASE语句总是比IF语句更好的选择。

  WHERE  vfl.CreatedDate >= CASE WHEN @FromDate IS NULL THEN vfl.CreatedDate ELSE  @FromDate END
    AND vfl.CreatedDate<=CASE WHEN @ToDate IS NULL THEN vfl.CreatedDate ELSE @ToDate END 

WHERE (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber) <> 1 OR OrderNumber = @OrderNumber) 
             AND (IsNumber(@OrderNumber) = 1 OR OrderNumber LIKE '%' 
                                              + @OrderNumber + '%')

在SQL中没有一个很好的方法来做到这一点。我看到的一些方法:

1)用CASE结合布尔运算符:

WHERE
    OrderNumber = CASE 
        WHEN (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber) = 1)
        THEN CONVERT(INT, @OrderNumber)
        ELSE -9999 -- Some numeric value that just cannot exist in the column
    END
    OR 
    FirstName LIKE CASE
        WHEN (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber) = 0)
        THEN '%' + @OrderNumber
        ELSE ''
    END

2)在SELECT之外使用IF

IF (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber)) = 1
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM Table
    WHERE @OrderNumber = OrderNumber
END ELSE BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM Table
    WHERE OrderNumber LIKE '%' + @OrderNumber
END

3)使用长字符串，有条件地编写SQL语句，然后使用EXEC

第三种方法很可怕，但如果你有许多这样的可变条件，它几乎是唯一可行的方法。

你根本不需要IF语句。

WHERE
    (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber) = 1 AND OrderNumber = @OrderNumber)
OR (IsNumeric(@OrderNumber) = 0 AND OrderNumber LIKE '%' + @OrderNumber + '%')

我认为在……情况下……可以使用布尔值。我正在使用T-SQL。

场景:假设如果bool为假，你想获取Person-30的爱好，如果bool为真，你想获取Person-42的爱好。(根据一些人的说法，业余爱好查找占了90%以上的商业计算周期，所以要密切关注。)

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Case
@bool   bit
AS
SELECT Person.Hobbies
FROM Person
WHERE Person.ID = 
    case @bool 
        when 0 
            then 30
        when 1
            then 42
    end;
