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;

CASE语句最接近SQL中的IF，并且在所有版本的SQL Server上都受支持。

SELECT CAST(
             CASE
                  WHEN Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y'
                     THEN 1
                  ELSE 0
             END AS bit) as Saleable, *
FROM Product

如果希望结果为布尔值，则只需使用CAST运算符。如果您对int感到满意，这将起作用：

SELECT CASE
            WHEN Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y'
               THEN 1
               ELSE 0
       END as Saleable, *
FROM Product

CASE语句可以嵌入到其他CASE语句中，甚至可以包含在聚合中。

SQL Server Denali（SQL Server 2012）添加了IIF语句，该语句也可用于访问（Martin Smith指出）：

SELECT IIF(Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y', 1, 0) as Saleable, * FROM Product

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;

Microsoft SQL Server（T-SQL）

在选择中，使用：

select case when Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y' then 'YES' else 'NO' end

在where子句中，使用：

where 1 = case when Obsolete = 'N' or InStock = 'Y' then 1 else 0 end

如果您是第一次将结果插入表中，而不是将结果从一个表传输到另一个表，这在Oracle 11.2g中适用：

INSERT INTO customers (last_name, first_name, city)
    SELECT 'Doe', 'John', 'Chicago' FROM dual
    WHERE NOT EXISTS
        (SELECT '1' from customers
            where last_name = 'Doe'
            and first_name = 'John'
            and city = 'Chicago');

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