Hi,

I have a long stored procedure which updates a record in a table. There is a long UPDATE command in the SP, as follows (simplified):
UPDATE mytable set field1 = COALESCE(@field1Val,field1), field2 = COALESCE(@field2Val,field2), 
			field3 = COALESCE(@field3Val,field3) where PK_VALUE = @PkValue
The above works but overrides the value in the field. For example, say I want to append the field "field2" with the value in the variable @field2Val, instead of overriding it.

How do I change the above segment of the SP?

TIA

UPDATE. I figured that I can use the CASE THEN ELSE END in the UPDATE expression. All set.
