It is a SQL Server
The actual statement would be like this
select * from mytable where case when mytable.order_no > 0 then mytable.field2 = 1 else 1=1 end
That is, I want the WHERE only fire when the order_no > 0. Otherwise, do not apply WHERE; hence the 1=1
>Your query doesn't make any sense. Care to explain what you are trying to accomplish? And is it VFP or SQL Server?
