* Need help with CASE statement in Function

Dear friends,

 

I am a new user to postgreSQL and really need help to solve my "stupid ?"
problem.

 

I have created  function with 4 arguments like this :

 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."fHistoryCard" (begdate date, enddate
date, ProductID varchar, storeID varchar) RETURNS SETOF "public"."tbltrans"
AS

$body$

/* New function body */

 

select * from tbltrans

where tbltrans."Date" between $1 and $2

and upper(tbltrans."ProductID")=upper($3)

and tbltrans."StoreID"=$4

order by tbltrans."Tanggal";

$body$

LANGUAGE 'sql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

 

---------------------

 

My Question is : How to make argument 4 optional ? When IS NULL the function
will show all transaction between date $1 and $2 and product ID=$3 

 

But when $4 is not null then the fucntion will show all transaction between
date $1 and $2 and product ID=$3 AND STOREID=$4.

 

I really appreciate any suggestions.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Hengky

Try something like:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."fHistoryCard" (begdate date, enddate
date, ProductID varchar, storeID varchar) RETURNS SETOF "public"."tbltrans"
AS

$body$
/* New function body */
    SELECT * FROM tbltrans
     WHERE tbltrans."Date" between $1 and $2
     AND upper(tbltrans."ProductID")=upper($3)
     AND ($4 IS NULL OR tbltrans."StoreID"=$4)
   ORDER BY tbltrans."Tanggal";
$body$
LANGUAGE 'sql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

In other words, change:
 tbltrans."StoreID"=$4
into
 ($4 IS NULL OR tbltrans."StoreID"=$4)

Haven't tested it, but should work fine.

   Regards,
      Dawid

Could you simply overload your function by having two functions?  One with arguement 4 and one
without?
