Open the Albums or Singles.sql file in the folder shown above. Execute the script to create a stored procedure which can return a list of albums or singles (or both) released in a given year.
Both parameters are optional.
Currently, the procedure will return the results of all three queries regardless of what you pass into the @AlbumOrSingle parameter.
Add an IF statement so that if the word Album is given to the @AlbumOrSingle parameter, the procedure selects the list of matching albums and then uses a RETURN statement to exit.
If you want to perform multiple actions based on the result of a condition, don't forget to use a BEGIN END block.
Add another IF statement to return a list of singles and exit the procedure if the word Single is given to the @AlbumOrSingle parameter.
Add a third IF statement which returns the combined list of albums and singles and exits the procedure if the @AlbumOrSingle parameter is omitted.
Add a final statement to the procedure which shows a message if a word other than Album or Single is passed to the @AlbumOrSingle parameter.
An example of the type of message you could display.
Save and then close the scripts.
