The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using SELECT CASE with LIKE

Asked by almaler in MS SQL Server

Tags: , ,

Here is my current query that works:
SELECT
CASE FileVersion
WHEN '9.0.2001.0219' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2000'
WHEN '9.0.2000.0224' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2000'
WHEN '11.2.2005.1801.15' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2003'
WHEN '11.1.2004.1707.15' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2003'
WHEN '11.0.2003.0816.15' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2003'
WHEN '10.0.2104.1305' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2002'
WHEN '10.0.2002.0502' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2002'
ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
END AS Version,

a.Name0 FROM v_R_System a INNER JOIN v_GS_SoftwareFile b on a.ResourceID = b.ResourceID WHERE  FileName LIKE 'winproj.exe' AND a.Name0 NOT LIKE  'aacobo%'
AND a.Name0 NOT LIKE 'aac-oig%'
AND a.Name0 NOT LIKE 'oig%'
AND a.Name0 NOT LIKE 'vaaac%'  ORDER BY Version ASC

What I want to do is change the CASE statement so that I can say
SELECT
CASE FileVersion
WHEN FileVersion LIKE '9.0.%' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2000'

OR something like

SELECT
CASE FileVersion
WHEN FileVersion STARTS WITH '9' THEN 'Microsoft Project 2000'

Is this possible?
