Question

simplified version of my query

SELECT *
FROM logs 
WHERE pw=\'correct\' AND CASE WHEN id<800 THEN success=1 ELSE END 
AND YEAR(timestamp)=2011 

Answer 1

This is working Oracle example but it should work in MySQL too.

You are missing smth - see IN after END Replace 'IN' with '=' sign for a single value.

SELECT empno, ename, job
  FROM scott.emp
 WHERE (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER' THEN '1'  
         WHEN job = 'CLERK'   THEN '2' 
         ELSE '0'  END) IN (1, 2)
