Re: SQL for Pivot Result

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I believe that I am using the SQL MAX() with a single argument. Does the
CASE function not return a single argument? Each of the pivot fields has the
structure:

MAX(CASE WHEN ppv.type = 1 THEN pd.`value` END) AS addressee

which I think is a single argument.

Can it be that the VFPOLEDB Provider does not support CASE? Is there a list
of the allowable SQL for the VFPOLEDB Provider in the documentation? I have
not been able to find one.

Hi Arlyn,

I think the problem is that there are two MAX() functions in VFP: the
native function, which is the one you were using; and the SQL version,
which only takes one argument, which takes the maximum one in the column.
However, we cannot mix the VFP function into SQL.

In this case, you can use IIF instead of MAX here. For more information,
please check the following links:
