Ignoring SQL parameters

[Nick Potter]

Hello,

I have this statement for example:

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE col1='val1' AND col2='val2';

one of the parameters could be null and in this case i'd like it ignored. How can i do this without using ifs, since in the code i actually have 7 parameters and it's a hassle to check if every parameter is null;

Thanks

I'm afraid that you will have to go through the hassle. How would you resolve this without checking it in your code, and dynamically creating the sql statement?
