CASE value WHEN value1_1 [, value1_2 ]* THEN result1 [ WHEN value2_1 [, value2_2 ]* THEN result2 ]* [ ELSE resultZ ] END |
Returns resultX when the value is contained in (valueX_1, valueX_2, …). Only the first matched value is returned. When no value matches, returns result_z if it is provided and returns NULL otherwise. |
CASE WHEN condition1 THEN result1 [ WHEN condition2 THEN result2 ]* [ ELSE resultZ ] END |
Returns resultX when the first conditionX is met. Only the first matched value is returned. When no condition is met, returns result_z if it is provided and returns NULL otherwise. |
NULLIF(value1, value2) |
Returns NULL if value1 is equal to value2; returns value1 otherwise. For example, NullIF (5, 5) returns NULL. NULLIF(5, 0) returns 5. |
COALESCE(value1, value2 [, value3 ]* ) |
Returns the first value (from left to right) that is not NULL from value1, value2, …. For example, COALESCE(NULL, 5) returns 5. |
IF(condition, true_value, false_value) |
Returns the true_value if condition is met, otherwise false_value. For example, IF(5 > 3, 5, 3) returns 5. |
