YZlat
because url is null for shoes
try
select parent_id from menu where (UPPER(title)) like UPPER('%" + name + "%') ASKER
i aslo want to keep this
and url is not null
and url is not null
it is in the data you displayed above
Try the following code:
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(127)
SET @name = 'shoes'
SELECT parent_id
FROM menu
WHERE ( UPPER(title) ) LIKE UPPER('%' + @name + '%')
AND url IS NOT NULL
since I have no way of seeing your actual data, variable name might have a trailing space. You could try trimming the variable of a space
try
select parent_id from menu where (UPPER(title)) like UPPER('%" + LTRIM(RTRIM(name)) + "%') and url is not nullASKER
no results found
or
select parent_id from menu where (UPPER(title)) like LTRIM(RTRIM(UPPER('%" + name + "%'))) and url is not null
where are you passing the variable name from? C# code? If so, you could use the built-in Trim function
just out of curiosity, what gets returned if you remove "and url is not null" part like i originally suggested. Can you try it and tell me what happened?
my query worked with the data you have provided. are you sure you didn't miss anything and the url is not null?
ASKER
i need the url not to be null it is hyper link
pourfard, it worked for me too becuase in data posted url is null. But jcwebhost says in reality it is not null
Does the following query return any result?
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(127)
SET @name = 'shoes'
SELECT parent_id
FROM menu
WHERE ( UPPER(title) ) LIKE UPPER('%' + @name + '%')
jcwebhost, I suggested you just try it and tell me the results so it would be easier to diagnoze the issue.
