Case Statement in SQL using Like

Question

Hello I have a SQL statement

INSERT INTO Foundation.TaxLiability.EmpowerSystemCalendarCode

SELECT SystemTax.SystemTaxID,
       EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarCodeID
      ,CASE WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Monthly%' THEN 3
            WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Annual%' THEN 2
            WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Quarterly%' THEN 4
       ELSE 0
       END
       FROM Foundation.Common.SystemTax SystemTax, Foundation.TaxLiability.EmpowerCalendarCode EmpowerCalendarCode
WHERE SystemTax.EmpowerTaxCode = EmpowerCalendarCode.LongAgencyCode and SystemTax.EmpowerTaxType = EmpowerCalendarCode.EmpowerTaxType

Even though CalendarName has values like Quarterly (EOM) I still end up getting 0. Any ideas and suggestions!

For one, I would update your SQL to this so you are using a JOIN on your SELECT statement instead of placing this in a WHERE clause.

INSERT INTO Foundation.TaxLiability.EmpowerSystemCalendarCode

SELECT SystemTax.SystemTaxID,
       EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarCodeID
      ,CASE WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Monthly%' THEN 3
            WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Annual%' THEN 2
            WHEN  EmpowerCalendarCode.CalendarName LIKE '%Quarterly%' THEN 4
       ELSE 0
       END
FROM Foundation.Common.SystemTax SystemTax
INNER JOIN Foundation.TaxLiability.EmpowerCalendarCode EmpowerCalendarCode
    ON SystemTax.EmpowerTaxCode = EmpowerCalendarCode.LongAgencyCode 
    AND SystemTax.EmpowerTaxType = EmpowerCalendarCode.EmpowerTaxType

two, what happens if you remove the INSERT INTO?
