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!

Trouble modifying TSQL query

Asked by GeoffSutton in SQL Query Syntax, SQL Server 2005

Tags: , ,

Hey Experts,

Here is the query I currently have:
SELECT
  CodestoCollectors.id AS CodeID,
  CodestoCollectors.CollectorCode,
  Collectors.CollectorLast + ', ' + Collectors.CollectorFirst AS Name,
  CodestoCollectors.Manager,
  Collectors.CollectorNumber,
  Collectors.Branch,
  CodestoCollectors.Client AS ClientCode,
  Collectors.Position AS PositionCode,
  Branches.BranchName,
  COA_Positions.Position,
  COA_Clients.Client
FROM
  COA_Clients
    RIGHT OUTER JOIN CodestoCollectors ON COA_Clients.code = CodestoCollectors.Client
    FULL OUTER JOIN Collectors
      LEFT OUTER JOIN COA_Positions ON Collectors.Position = COA_Positions.code
      LEFT OUTER JOIN Branches ON Collectors.Branch = Branches.Branch
    ON CodestoCollectors.CollectorNumber = Collectors.CollectorNumber
WHERE
  (Collectors.Employed = 'Y') AND
  (UPPER(Collectors.CollectorLast) <> 'ZZHOUSE')
ORDER BY
  Collectors.CollectorLast,
  Collectors.CollectorFirst,
  CodestoCollectors.CollectorCode

My problem is that I need to add another field, Manager Name, which would be SELECT C.CollectorLast + ', ' + C.CollectorFirst as ManagerName from Collectors as C INNER JOIN ....
The problem I am having is that I need to combine this query as part of the above query, and the join is on CodesToCollectors.Manager=C.CollectorNumber UNLESS CodesToCollectors.Manager IS NULL, in which case I will join on Collectors.Manager.  
I have no idea how to form the CASE WHEN statement, and where to place it (or even if I should use it) in order to get the same results but with the manager name coming back rather than the number (as it is now).

Please help with this.
