Question

I have a table with column as and its value as given

ProvisionType——From Days——ToDays

• goodLoan ——— 1——————90
• Substand ————91————–180
• doubful————–181————–365
• bad—————-365—————-365+

IN the following case i may have a variable which may be different and i am managing that from code….But suppose if i want to find where exactly 200 falls between From days and To Days so i get the Correct Provision Type. So please anybody could help me on this

Answer 1

If you’re using SQL Server then this should work. Not sure if MySql has BETWEEN…

SELECT ProvisionType 
FROM myTable
WHERE (myVariable BETWEEN FromDays AND ToDays)

It could also be written without the BETWEEN…

SELECT ProvisionType
FROM myTable
WHERE myVariable >= FromDays 
AND myVariable <= ToDays

For this to work you should replace 365+ on the last provision with an actual number, otherwise the ToDays field will need to be a varchar field rather than numeric. Also, if a value of 365 is provided, would it be expected to fall into the last category or the one before it? The other categories have a distinct cut-off point, but the last ones overlap.
