Question

the sql query below works great for all of the checks in the CASE WHEN, accept for some of the emails. When every i run the query checking for an email it works sometimes and sometimes it does not. I’ve done a RTRIM(LTRIM(m.Email)) and this does not work either.
Is there something i need to do different when comparing emails?

exec BuildingPros.uspGetEmployees 1697,'Email','[e-mail]'


alter proc BuildingPros.uspGetEmployees

@Where  VARCHAR(12) = NULL,
@Equals VARCHAR(25) = NULL

Answer 1

I would suspect that it works for those emails that are shorter than 26 characters in length and that is fails on emails that are 26 characters or more in length. VARCHAR(25) is insufficient for an email address.
