Question

So right now I have a simple SQL store procedure which I can call to update one of the tables in my database. Within the store procedure, I have an If conditional statement:

IF 1 > 0 THEN   
         UPDATE TABLE_A 
         SET COLUMN_1 =299999 
         WHERE COLUMN_2 ='2014-01-03'  and COLUMN_3=0;

I’m pretty sure the update clause has no problem because when I run it separately, it updates the table fine. I can see the value being updated in the table.

However, right when I put it after the IF statement(like the code above), the update fails(returns me no rows affected).

I’m pretty sure the IF statement is correct as well(right now I put it as 1>0 just for testing).

If I put an insert statement after the IF, it works fine too. A new row is being inserted into the table. This is so weird. Any help ?

If it’s T-SQL try using a BEGIN statement instead of then

IF 1 > 0
BEGIN
UPDATE TABLE_A 
SET COLUMN_1 =299999 
WHERE COLUMN_2 ='2014-01-03'  and COLUMN_3=0
END
