I am trying go select multiple values with CASE
statement. I noticed we cannot do
CASE
WHEN wall.type=\"bk\"
THEN books.id1,books.id2, //
No, it is just a single value. Additionally, it is contradictory to use "multiple columns" and name those multiple columns as column_1
, right? :)
You can use another column to store the other id with (a similar case) and use nulls to represent the else
values, just like you're doing now.
Example:
CASE
WHEN wall.type="bk"
THEN books.id1
END as column_1,
CASE
WHEN wall.type="bk"
THEN books.id2
END as column_2
Check the official documentation for more information.
