I have a variable @variable 1 [bit] which tells me either to exclude or not certain data (based on a different value) from a select statement. 
Simple example I have a table (plants) with 2 columns : 
Name_of_the_plant, numbers
I have a report in which the user should be able to declare a value @WithoutTrees and I should be able to present the result without the trees, based on their names(for which I have a nomenclature). 
I want to be able to run the select query based in two ways based on the variable WithoutTrees. 
- When the bit value is 0: SELECT * FROM Plants
- When the bit value is 1: SELECT * FROM Plants where Name_of_the_plant not in ('Oak', 'Pine')
