I'm trying to add an IF to the end of a select query.
example
senario # 1 catselected = true and stateselected = true
(select somedata from sampletable where cat='active and state='ga')
senario #2 catselected = false and stateselected = true
(select somedata from sampletable where state='ga')
senario #3 catselected = true and stateselected = false
(select somedata from sampletable where cat='active')
senario #4 catselected = false and stateselected = false
(select somedata from sampletable )

**************************************************************
declare @catslected bit
declare @stateselected bit
decalere @allwords bit

set @allwords = 0
set @catselected = true
set @stateselected = false

IF @allwords = 0
select name, address, description from sampletable
where
IF catselected = 1 AND stateselected = 1
cat='active' and state='ga'
IF catselected = 0 AND state = 1
state='ga'
IF cateselected = 1 AND sate = 0
cat='active'
IF catselected = 0 and state = 0
/*get all with no restrictions*/

Thanks

this is what you want i guess

select somedata 
from sampletable 
where ((cat='active' and  catselected = true) or catselected = false)
and ((state='ga' and stateselected = true) or stateselected =false)
