Hi The SQL below forms part of an XML Feed file for Google. Do you know if it is possible to change the SQL so that it DOES NOT include products that have an empty description?

<sql>
<![CDATA[
select p.productid, p.name, isnull(pv.name, '') VariantName,
p.description, p.sename, p.ImageFileNameOverride, p.SKU,
isnull(p.FroogleDescription, '') ProductFroogleDescription,
p.SEKeywords,
m.Name brand, p.ManufacturerPartNumber,
pv.price, isnull(pv.saleprice, 0) saleprice,
isnull(pv.FroogleDescription, '') VariantFroogleDescription,
isnull(pv.description, '') VariantDescr,
pv.inventory,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY p.productid) AS ROW
from dbo.product p
join dbo.productvariant pv on p.productid = pv.productid
join dbo.ProductManufacturer pm on pm.ProductID = p.ProductID
join dbo.Manufacturer m on m.ManufacturerID = pm.ManufacturerID
join dbo.ProductStore ps on ps.ProductID = p.ProductID and ps.StoreID = 1
left join
(select variantid, sum(quan) inventory
from dbo.inventory group by variantid) i on pv.variantid = i.variantid
where p.IsSystem=0
and p.deleted = 0
and p.published = 1
and p.ExcludeFromPriceFeeds = 0
and pv.isdefault = 1
and case p.TrackInventoryBySizeAndColor when 1 then isnull(i.inventory, 0)
else pv.inventory end >= @HideProductsWithLessThanThisInventoryLevel
]]>
</sql>

else pv.inventory end >= @HideProductsWithLessThanThisInventoryLevel
]]>
</sql>

Add another condition to the where clause as shown below:
....
AND CASE p.TrackInventoryBySizeAndColor
WHEN 1 THEN ISNULL(i.inventory, 0)
ELSE pv.inventory
END >= @HideProductsWithLessThanThisInventoryLevel
AND NULLIF(p.description,'') IS NOT NULL
....

Change it to:
AND NULLIF(CAST(p.description AS VARCHAR(MAX)),'') IS NOT NULL
