MySQL Case/If/Then

Question

I am trying to build a query in MySQL, where I have a numeric stock level of something and depending on what that stock level is, I want it to return another value that woul

Answer 1

I thin you mean that if the stock > 1000 then another color not green.

SELECT  Beer.Beer, 
        Beer.Brewery, 
        Beer.Style, 
        Beer.ABV, 
        Beer.Hops, 
        Beer.SRM,
        Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) totalQuantity,
        CASE WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) < 0 THEN ''
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 0 AND 999 THEN 'Red'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 1000 AND 4999 THEN 'Yellow'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 5000 AND 9999 THEN 'GREEN'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) >= 10000 THEN 'Another Color' 
        END
FROM    Beer
        INNER JOIN BeerStock
            ON Beer.Beer = BeerStock.Beer
-- Where    ..other conditions..

but if you really mean that,

SELECT  Beer.Beer, 
        Beer.Brewery, 
        Beer.Style, 
        Beer.ABV, 
        Beer.Hops, 
        Beer.SRM,
        Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) totalQuantity,
        CASE WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) < 0 THEN ''
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 0 AND 999 THEN 'Red'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 1000 AND 4999 THEN 'Yellow'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) >= 5000 THEN 'GREEN'
        END
FROM    Beer
        INNER JOIN BeerStock
            ON Beer.Beer = BeerStock.Beer
-- Where    ..other conditions..

One more thing, You also need to use GROUP BY clause or else you will be returning only one record even if you have different records,

SELECT  Beer.Beer, 
        Beer.Brewery, 
        Beer.Style, 
        Beer.ABV, 
        Beer.Hops, 
        Beer.SRM,
        Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) totalQuantity,
        CASE WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) < 0 THEN ''
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 0 AND 999 THEN 'Red'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 1000 AND 4999 THEN 'Yellow'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) BETWEEN 5000 AND 9999 THEN 'GREEN'
            WHEN Sum(BeerStock.Quantity) >= 10000 THEN 'Another Color' 
        END
FROM    Beer
        INNER JOIN BeerStock
            ON Beer.Beer = BeerStock.Beer
-- Where    ..other conditions..
GROUP   BY Beer.Beer, 
        Beer.Brewery, 
        Beer.Style, 
        Beer.ABV, 
        Beer.Hops, 
        Beer.SRM
