Invalid column name in case statements in SQL

Question

I have a SQL query which includes the following SELECT terms:

SUM(CASE WHEN JobResponses.result = "true" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [True],
SUM(CASE WHEN JobResponses.result = "false" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS [False],

However, when I use this is a SQL Server query, I got the syntax error:

Invalid column name 'true'.

obviously result is the reference to the column name, so why am I getting this error? It seemed to work fine on SQLite??

Answer 1

You're using " around true and false, should be ' single quote.

SQL uses " as a Column identifier.

Answer 2

Using Single Quotes will solve the problem:

SUM(CASE WHEN JobResponses.result = 'true' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'True',
SUM(CASE WHEN JobResponses.result = 'false' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS 'False',
