Hi,

I have the following update statements to be executed with the below mentioned condition. Is there any DB2 function that can achieve the same result.

Statement 1 -

UPDATE TABLE_1
SET COLUMN_1 = 'VAL1'
WHERE COLUMN_3 = 1

Statement 2 -

UPDATE TABLE_1
SET COLUMN_2 = 'VAL2'
WHERE COLUMN_3 = 2

Condition -

Statement 2 should be executed when no rows are updated by Statement 1. Is there any way this can be done using SQL only?

Untested:
Code:
UPDATE TABLE_1
SET COLUMN_1 =
CASE
    WHEN COLUMN_3 = 1 THEN 'VAL1'
    WHEN COLUMN_3 = 2 THEN 'VAL2'
END


Can COLUMN_1 be NULL? If not, you'll run in to the 'error' with above SQL.

i would interpret this to mean if the UPDATE ...WHERE COLUMN_3 = 1
returns an sqlcode of +100 or sqlerrcd(3) = 0
then update WHERE COLUMN_3 = 2

Yes Dick Brenholtz, u r right, can this be done using SQL only, without using a programming language?

Thanks
