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

Question:

SELECT IF(Obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y' ? 1 : 0) AS Saleable, * FROM Product

ANSI:

Select 
  case when p.Obsolete = 'N' 
  or p.InStock = 'Y' then 1 else 0 end as Saleable, 
  p.* 
FROM 
  Product p;

Using aliases -- p in this case -- will help prevent issues.
