Answer:
Let's us assume that we have the following table of Employee.
Emp_Id
|
Emp_Name
|
Emp_Salary
|
1
|
Shiv
|
17000
|
2
|
Raju
|
13500
|
3
|
Sham
|
15000
|
4
|
Moosa
|
11000
|
5
|
Firoz
|
12000
|
There can be a scenario we have to display employee name whose salary is
greater than "some amount" or less than "some amount" for
that purpose we use case statement.
Let's us consider that we have to display all the employee names from the
employee table and the status like salary is greater than 13000 or lesser than
13000.
Query:
SELECT Emp_Name,CASE
when (Emp_Salary>13000) then 'Greater than 13000'
else 'Lesser than 13000'
end as Status
FROM Employee
Output:
Emp_Name
|
Status
|
Shiv
|
Greater
than 13000
|
Raju
|
Greater
than 13000
|
Sham
|
Greater
than 13000
|
Moosa
|
Lesser
than 13000
|
Firoz
|
Lesser
than 13000
|
Hence you can see that all the employee name have been displayed with their
salary status in the above output.
