SQL 转换失败错误

Question

当我调用这个存储过程时：

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetSorted]   
(
   @OrderByColumn   nvarchar(256)

)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON      

   SELECT itDocs.AddedDate, itDocs.AddedBy  FROM itDocs      
    ORDER BY 
             CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedDate' THEN itDocs.AddedDate
                  WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedBy' THEN itDocs.AddedBy 

        END  ASC                        

我得到错误：

转换日期时转换失败 和/或字符串中的时间

.

这就是我所说的 SP：

DECLARE @return_value int

EXEC    @return_value = [dbo].[GetSorted]

        @OrderByColumn = 'AddedBy'


SELECT  'Return Value' = @return_value

GO

更新： 如果我按照第 2 个答案中的建议使用多案例方法， 尝试为方向添加另一个案例时出现错误：

  ORDER BY  
        CASE WHEN @OrderDirection=0 THEN            
           CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedDate' THEN itDocs.AddedDate END ASC,
           CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedBy' THEN   itDocs.AddedBy END ASC    
        end       
       CASE WHEN @OrderDirection=1 THEN  

Answer 1

您正在尝试转换数据类型，而 datetime 具有更高的优先级。基本上“AddedBy = 'bob'”不能转换...

SELECT
    itDocs.AddedDate, itDocs.AddedBy
FROM
    itDocs      
ORDER BY
    CASE OrderByColumn WHEN 'AddedDate' THEN itDocs.AddedDate ELSE '19000101' END,
    CASE OrderByColumn WHEN 'AddedBy' THEN itDocs.AddedBy ELSE '' END

Answer 2

这是一篇很好的文章，解释了您收到的错误：

Using CASE in ORDER BY clause

您可以将存储过程更改为以下内容，以允许 ORDER BY 子句中的 CASE 工作（现在已编辑以包括订单方向作为参数）：

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetSorted]   
(
    @OrderByColumn   nvarchar(256),
    @OrderDirection  int
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON             
   SELECT itDocs.AddedDate, itDocs.AddedBy FROM itDocs          
      ORDER BY              
         CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedDate' AND @OrderDirection=0 THEN itDocs.AddedDate END ASC,
         CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedBy' AND @OrderDirection=0 THEN itDocs.AddedBy END ASC,         
         CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedDate' AND @OrderDirection=1 THEN itDocs.AddedDate END DESC,
         CASE WHEN @OrderByColumn='AddedBy' AND @OrderDirection=1 THEN itDocs.AddedBy END DESC
