Verwenden von IF EXISTS mit einem CTE

Von MSDN

Es kann so umgeschrieben werden

WITH ADMISSION_OUTSIDE AS 
(   .....
.....
)
SELECT 'OK' WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ADMISSION_OUTSIDE)
UNION ALL
SELECT 'NOT OK' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ADMISSION_OUTSIDE)

Hier ist eine Demo

;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT 1 as a WHERE 1=0
)
SELECT 'OK' WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM CTE)
UNION ALL
SELECT 'NOT OK' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM CTE)

Ergebnis: NOT OK

;WITH CTE AS
(
SELECT 1 as a WHERE 1=1
)
SELECT 'OK' WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM CTE)
UNION ALL
SELECT 'NOT OK' WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM CTE)

Ergebnis: OK
