Tricky SELECT QUERY

  • Ok peeps maybe someone can help me out here!! the below QUERY basically is a straight select with 1 real condition

    which is Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%'

    but what i need is a query that says if i do have a

    Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%' which is select below run as normal but if i DONT HAVE A Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%' i'll hard code the select??? Make sense

    Bottom Line i need with Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%' and Transaction_Type NOT LIKE 'Down Time%' all in one select statement somekind of way

    example

    Joe Smith 2.00 120 = WITH Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%

    Jane smith 0.00 0.00 = WITH OUT Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%

    SELECT TblMasterTrans.User_ID, Time_Spent, Downtime

    FROM TblMasterTrans,TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable

    WHERE Date_Opened Between '06-01-08' And '06-07-08'

    AND TblMasterTrans.Task_Number = TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.Task_Number

    AND TblMasterTrans.User_ID = TblContractInfo_SubMenuTable.User_ID

    AND Transaction_Type LIKE 'Down Time%'

    GROUP BY TblMasterTrans.User_ID
