0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to use CASE statement in PostgreSQL.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
CASE2
WHEN condition1 THEN result13
WHEN condition2 THEN result24
WHEN conditionN THEN resultN5
ELSE result6
END;To show how the CASE statement works, we will use the following table:
Note:
At the end of this article you can find database preparation SQL queries.
In this example, we will display information about users salary using CASE statement.
Query:
xxxxxxxxxx1
SELECT "name", "salary",2
CASE 3
WHEN "salary" > 6000 THEN 'Salary greater than 6000$'4
WHEN "salary" > 4000 THEN 'Salary greater than 4000$'5
WHEN "salary" >= 2000 THEN 'Salary greater than 2000$'6
ELSE 'Salary less than 2000$'7
END AS "Salary information"8
FROM "users";Output:
create_tables.sql file:
xxxxxxxxxx1
CREATE TABLE "users" (2
"id" SERIAL,3
"name" VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,4
"surname" VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,5
"department_id" INTEGER,6
"salary" DECIMAL(15,2) NOT NULL,7
PRIMARY KEY ("id")8
);insert_data.sql file:
xxxxxxxxxx1
INSERT INTO "users"2
( "name", "surname", "department_id", "salary")3
