This post will give you some tips on some SQL queries.
First of all I have seen people writing queries for performing a condition checking like this.
IF @user_id ='' THEN
SELECT usr_name FROM m_users;
ELSE
SELECT usr_name FROM m_users WHERE usr_id = @user_id;
END IF;
So what is wrong here? This code is so huge for such a simple logic. So, how do we simplify this code? How do we avoid the if-else block?
The answer is simple. The logic is usr_id = @user_id or @user_id = ''
You already got it right?
The simplified code is
SELECT usr_name FROM m_users WHERE usr_id = @user_id OR @user_id = '';
