通过此链接，我们可以了解T-SQL中的IF THEN ELSE：

IF EXISTS(SELECT *
          FROM   Northwind.dbo.Customers
          WHERE  CustomerId = 'ALFKI')
  PRINT 'Need to update Customer Record ALFKI'
ELSE
  PRINT 'Need to add Customer Record ALFKI'

IF EXISTS(SELECT *
          FROM   Northwind.dbo.Customers
          WHERE  CustomerId = 'LARSE')
  PRINT 'Need to update Customer Record LARSE'
ELSE
  PRINT 'Need to add Customer Record LARSE' 

这对t-SQL不够好吗？

SELECT  
(CASE 
     WHEN (Obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y') THEN 'YES'
                                            ELSE 'NO' 
 END) as Salable
, * 
FROM Product

在SQL Server 2012中，您可以使用IIF函数进行此操作。

SELECT IIF(Obsolete = 'N' OR InStock = 'Y', 1, 0) AS Salable, *
FROM   Product

这实际上只是编写CASE的一种速记（尽管不是标准SQL）方式。

与扩展的CASE版本相比，我更喜欢简洁。

IIF（）和CASE都解析为SQL语句中的表达式，只能在定义良好的地方使用。

CASE表达式不能用于控制Transact-SQL语句、语句块、用户定义函数和存储过程。

如果这些限制不能满足您的需求（例如，需要根据某些条件返回不同形状的结果集），那么SQL Server也有一个过程If关键字。

IF @IncludeExtendedInformation = 1
  BEGIN
      SELECT A,B,C,X,Y,Z
      FROM   T
  END
ELSE
  BEGIN
      SELECT A,B,C
      FROM   T
  END

但是，有时必须小心避免这种方法的参数嗅探问题。

会是这样的：

SELECT OrderID, Quantity,
CASE
    WHEN Quantity > 30 THEN "The quantity is greater than 30"
    WHEN Quantity = 30 THEN "The quantity is 30"
    ELSE "The quantity is under 30"
END AS QuantityText
FROM OrderDetails;

 SELECT
   CASE 
      WHEN OBSOLETE = 'N' or InStock = 'Y' THEN 'TRUE' 
      ELSE 'FALSE' 
   END AS Salable,
   * 
FROM PRODUCT
