MySQL equivalent of DECODE function in Oracle

Question

I am trying to find an equivalent of DECODE function in MySQL. It works like this:

Select Name, DECODE(Age,
       13,\'Thirteen\',14,\'Fourteen\',15,\'Fifte         


        

Answer 1

You can use IF() where in Oracle you would have used DECODE().

mysql> select if(emp_id=1,'X','Y') as test, emp_id from emps;
