Case in Select Statement

0 votes

I have an SQL statement that has a CASE from SELECT and I just can't get it right. Can you guys show me an example of CASE where the cases are the conditions and the results are from the cases. For example:

     Select xxx, yyy
     case : desc case when bbb then 'blackberry';
     when sss then 'samsung';
     end 
     from (select ???? .....

where the results show

 name                         age       handphone
xxx1                         yyy1      blackberry
xxx2                         yyy2      blackberry

The MSDN is a good reference for these type of questions regarding syntax and usage. This is from the Transact SQL Reference - CASE page.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181765.aspx

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
SELECT   ProductNumber, Name, "Price Range" = 
  CASE 
     WHEN ListPrice =  0 THEN 'Mfg item - not for resale'
     WHEN ListPrice < 50 THEN 'Under $50'
     WHEN ListPrice >= 50 and ListPrice < 250 THEN 'Under $250'
     WHEN ListPrice >= 250 and ListPrice < 1000 THEN 'Under $1000'
     ELSE 'Over $1000'
  END
FROM Production.Product
ORDER BY ProductNumber ;
GO

Another good site you may want to check out if you're using SQL Server is SQL Server Central. This has a large variety of resources available for whatever area of SQL Server you would like to learn.

I think these could be helpful for you .

Using a SELECT statement with a simple CASE expression

Within a SELECT statement, a simple CASE expression allows for only an equality check; no other comparisons are made. The following example uses the CASE expression to change the display of product line categories to make them more understandable.

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
SELECT   ProductNumber, Category =
      CASE ProductLine
         WHEN 'R' THEN 'Road'
         WHEN 'M' THEN 'Mountain'
         WHEN 'T' THEN 'Touring'
         WHEN 'S' THEN 'Other sale items'
         ELSE 'Not for sale'
      END,
   Name
FROM Production.Product
ORDER BY ProductNumber;
GO

Using a SELECT statement with a searched CASE expression

Within a SELECT statement, the searched CASE expression allows for values to be replaced in the result set based on comparison values. The following example displays the list price as a text comment based on the price range for a product.

USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
SELECT   ProductNumber, Name, "Price Range" = 
      CASE 
         WHEN ListPrice =  0 THEN 'Mfg item - not for resale'
         WHEN ListPrice < 50 THEN 'Under $50'
         WHEN ListPrice >= 50 and ListPrice < 250 THEN 'Under $250'
         WHEN ListPrice >= 250 and ListPrice < 1000 THEN 'Under $1000'
         ELSE 'Over $1000'
      END
FROM Production.Product
ORDER BY ProductNumber ;
GO
