Hi,
I have the following code in sql

DECLARE

@slsman NVARCHAR(8)
, @cust_name NVARCHAR(60)
, @customer_rowpointer UNIQUEIDENTIFIER

SELECT @slsman = null, @cust_name = null, @customer_rowpointer = null
SELECT TOP 1 @slsman = customer.slsman
,@customer_rowpointer = customer.rowpointer
from customer

Now I need to change the above code such that if slsman field is blank in customer then it should look for the field from a differnt table in the database named sales and table saleman_detail.

I have to incorporate this logic in the above code. I am not sure how to do this. I appreciate any help.
Thanks.

FROM sales..saleman_detail
