Hi list :) How are you today?
Being fast: I have the following table with the following data in it:
users:
mid --- id_group --- username
1 ----- 2 --- test
2 ----- 2 --- blabla
3 ----- 4 --- etcetc
and the following select:
SELECT
CASE mid WHEN NULL THEN CAST(0 AS integer)
ELSE mid
END AS mid,
CASE id_group WHEN NULL THEN CAST(0 AS integer)
ELSE id_group
END AS id_group
FROM users
WHERE username = 'test';
This query returns:
mid --- id_group
1 --- 2
Now, what I want is when the user isn't found, (aka WHERE username isn't found) it should return me this:
mid --- id_group
0 --- 0
But it returns 0 rows...
I've tried so far with
CASE mid WHEN NOT FOUND -> ERROR: column "found" does not exist
CASE mid WHEN NOT EXISTS -> ERROR: column "exists" does not exist
and other variations, however, I haven't be able to accomplish this, the idea is that it should always return at least 1 row...
I know it must be a some kind of small stupidity, but after 2 hours googling and trying, i seriously thought of asking it to the list...
Thanks in advance ;)
Greetings, Camilo Sperberg
