| I'm trying to convert a value from a field. Basically I have a priority field for records with a default value of 1000 but in certain cases I want to present this value as a 0 on an asp page. I don't want to change the value at all in the database. Any ideas would be welcome!Many thanks. |

| Depends on how you retrieve itIf you want to do it in a select statement thenselect Priority = case when priority = 1000 and <whatever else> then 0 else priority endfrom ...==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.SSIS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| if it is only for display purpose you can do this.select (column-column)from <table>.this will make the value as 0.because iam substracting the value from the same column. |

That will be ZERO for every row / every value of [column], and not just when [column] = 1000In which case you might just as well doselect 0 from <table> |
