Question

How do I perform an IF...THEN in an SQL SELECT statement?

For example:

SELECT IF(Obsolete = \'N\' OR InStock = \'Y\' ? 1 :          


        

Answer 1

Using SQL CASE is just like normal If / Else statements. In below query, If obsolete value = 'N' or If InStock value = 'Y' Then Output will be 1. Otherwise output will be 0. Then we put that 0 or 1 value under the Salable Column.

SELECT
      CASE 
        WHEN obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y' 
        THEN 1 
        ELSE 0 
      END AS Salable
      , * 
FROM PRODUCT
