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;
