SELECT id, amount
FROM report
WHERE type='P'

UNION

SELECT id, (amount * -1) AS amount
FROM report
WHERE type = 'N'

ORDER BY id;

最简单的方法是使用IF()。是的，Mysql允许你做条件逻辑。IF函数有3个参数:条件，真结果，假结果。

逻辑就是

if report.type = 'p' 
    amount = amount 
else 
    amount = -1*amount 

SQL

SELECT 
    id, IF(report.type = 'P', abs(amount), -1*abs(amount)) as amount
FROM  report

如果所有的no都是+ve，你可以跳过abs()

SELECT id, 
       IF(type = 'P', amount, amount * -1) as amount
FROM report

见http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/control-flow-functions.html。

此外，您还可以处理条件为空的情况。如果是空值:

SELECT id, 
       IF(type = 'P', IFNULL(amount,0), IFNULL(amount,0) * -1) as amount
FROM report

IFNULL(amount,0)部分表示当金额不为空时返回金额，否则返回0。

使用case语句:

select id,
    case report.type
        when 'P' then amount
        when 'N' then -amount
    end as amount
from
    `report`

你也可以试试这个

 SELECT id , IF(type='p', IFNULL(amount,0), IFNULL(amount,0) * -1) as amount FROM table

SELECT CompanyName, 
    CASE WHEN Country IN ('USA', 'Canada') THEN 'North America'
         WHEN Country = 'Brazil' THEN 'South America'
         ELSE 'Europe' END AS Continent
FROM Suppliers
ORDER BY CompanyName;
