Does sqlite support any kind of IF(condition) statement in a select

Question

Does sqlite support the sql function \"if\" in the select statement?

for example

select if( length( a ) > 4 , a , \' \') as b
from foo
         


        

Answer 1

See the case expression.

A CASE expression serves a role similar to IF-THEN-ELSE in other programming languages.

For your example

select case when length(a) > 4 then a else '' end as b
from foo
