how to use case statement in sql code example
Example 1: sql case
-- NOTE: this is for SQL-Oracle specifically
/*
NB: Please like Mingles444 post, I derived this from him/her
*/
-- syntax: (Retrieved from grepper:Mingles444)
CASE
WHEN condition1 THEN result1
WHEN condition2 THEN result2
WHEN conditionN THEN resultN
ELSE result
END
-- example:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (1+6 = 6) THEN
WHEN (1+6 = 7) THEN
WHEN (1+6 = 8) THEN
ELSE
END
FROM DUAL;
-- OUTPUT: B
Example 2: sql case
Change query output depending on conditions.
Example: Returns users and their subscriptions, along with a new column
called activity_levels that makes a judgement based on the number of
subscriptions.
SELECT first_name, surname, subscriptions
CASE WHEN subscriptions > 10 THEN
WHEN Quantity BETWEEN 3 AND 10 THEN
ELSE
END AS activity_levels
FROM users;
Example 3: sql CASE
/*CASE statements are used to create different outputs and is
used by SQL as a way to handle if-then logic.*/
SELECT column_name,
CASE
WHEN condition THEN
WHEN condition THEN
ELSE
END
FROM table_name;
Example 4: end as sql
select
case when ID in (

else
end as Person
from Table.Names
select
case when ID in (

else
end Person
from Table.Names
Example 5: case statement in sql
Case Statement basically
Like IF - THEN - ELSE statement.
The CASE statement goes through conditions
and returns a value when the
first condition is met and
once a condition is true,
it will stop reading and return the result.
If no conditions are true,
it returns the value in the ELSE clause.
If there is no ELSE part and
no conditions are true, it returns NULL.
FOR EXAMPLE =
CASE
WHEN condition1 THEN result1
WHEN condition2 THEN result2
WHEN conditionN THEN resultN
ELSE result
END
-- example:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN (1+6 = 6) THEN
WHEN (1+6 = 7) THEN
WHEN (1+6 = 8) THEN
ELSE
END
FROM DUAL;
Result would be
correct answer
