DECLARE @TestVal int
SET @TestVal = 5
SELECT
CASE
WHEN @TestVal <=3 THEN 'Top 3'
ELSE 'Other'
END
I saw this sample code online but I couldn't find an example where there was no expression and it had more than one WHEN, so I am wondering if this type of thing is OK:
DECLARE @TestVal int
SET @TestVal = 5
SELECT
CASE
WHEN @TestVal <=3 THEN 'Top 3'
WHEN (select ...) = 1 THEN 'Other Value'
WHEN (select ...) = 2 THEN 'Other Value 2'
ELSE 'Other'
END
Or do I need to say CASE WHEN for each line?
Yes, that's fine, but I would line up the "WHEN"s vertically and explain it more like this:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN @TestVal <=3 THEN 'Top 3'
WHEN @TestVal <=10 THEN 'Top 10'
WHEN @TestVAl <=25 THEN 'Top 25'
ELSE 'Other'
END
The formatting might just be a markdown glitch, but the (select...)
in your example complicated what should be a simpler snippet.
Case takes the following form
CASE WHEN Condition THEN Result
WHEN Condition2 THEN Result2
ELSE Default
END
This assumes your using Microsoft SQL Server other DBMS might be different
SELECT
CASE
WHEN @TestVal <=3 THEN 'Top 3'
WHEN @TestVal <=10 THEN 'Top 10'
WHEN @TestVAl <=25 THEN 'Top 25'
ELSE 'Other'
END
In regards to nesting case statements this can be done as well (up until 10 nested case statements allowed within sql)
