case statement

Access has an IIF statement, SQL has the case. Want to display your bit data as "yes" or "no"? Enter the case statement! Example:


SELECT thisVariable, thatVariable,
CASE
WHEN likesApples = 1 THEN 'yes'
WHEN likesApples = 0 THEN 'no'
WHEN likesApples = 2 THEN 'not sure'
else 'not answered'
END AS appleVariable
FROM thatTable
