    <p>As I understand it the column BBH_NEW.rebate2 is of type <code>money</code> when you get the error. In T-SQL you can't have a query that doesn't compile, and that is what you are encountering. Even though the query in the always-false if block won't run, it doesn't compile because the data types don't match.</p> <p>First, a quick solution for you - use CONVERT or CAST to explicitly change the data type.</p> <pre><code>if 'money'!= 'money' begin IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT top 1 * FROM [BBH_NEW] WHERE [rebate2] IS NOT NULL and len(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8000), [rebate2])) &gt; 0 ) BEGIN print ' rebate2 ' end end </code></pre> <p>But, there has to be a better way to do whatever you are doing... When does that SQL get generated? If it is at runtime, can you just not generate the part that won't run? Maybe something like this?</p> <pre><code>SELECT @hold = CASE WHEN @temp = 'money' THEN 'if (select max(['+@col+']) from ['+@tblname+']) = 0 and (select min(['+@col+']) from ['+@tblname+']) = 0 print '' '+@col+' money''' ELSE 'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT max([' + @col + ']) FROM ['+ @tblname + '] WHERE len( [' + @col + ']) &gt; 0 ) BEGIN print '' ' + @col + ' '' end' END </code></pre> <p>or maybe change the generation to this...</p> <pre><code>SELECT @temp = DATA_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo' AND TABLE_NAME = @tblname AND COLUMN_NAME = @col IF(@temp = 'money') SELECT @hold = 'IF(EXISTS( SELECT 1 FROM ['+@tblname+'] HAVING MAX(['+@col+']) = 0 AND MIN(['+@col+']) = 0)) BEGIN PRINT '' '+@col+' '' END'; ELSE SELECT @hold = 'IF(NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM ['+@tblname+'] WHERE ['+@col+'] IS NOT NULL AND LEN(['+@col+']) &gt; 0)) BEGIN PRINT '' '+@col+' '' END'; </code></pre>

    1. COThanks, I didn't realize the error was coming from compiling vs at runtime

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
