Case Statement in SQL

The document discusses the CASE statement in SQL, which allows conditional logic within queries. It can evaluate conditions and return a result for the first matching condition. The document explains the differences between simple and searched CASE statements, and provides examples of using CASE to categorize data into groups based on conditions. It also outlines some common uses of the CASE statement, such as conditional logic, data transformation, simplifying queries, and performing calculations based on different conditions.

DATA ANALYSIS
The CASE statement is a powerful conditional
expression in SQL.
It allows us to perform conditional logic
within a query.
It evaluates a series of conditions and
returns a result based on the first condition
that is met.
The CASE statement is commonly used for
data transformation, calculation, and
categorization.

@Moaz Agha
SIMPLE CASE:
CASE expression
WHEN condition THEN result
WHEN condition THEN result
ELSE result
END

SEARCHED CASE:
CASE
WHEN condition THEN result
WHEN condition THEN result
ELSE result
END
@Moaz Agha
Suppose we have a "grade" column in a table that contains
grades for students.
We want to categorize the grades into three groups: "Excellent,"
"Good," and "Needs Improvement."

@Moaz Agha
Suppose we have a "age" column in a table that contains the
ages of individuals.
We want to categorize the ages into four groups: "Child,"
"Teenager," "Adult," and "Senior."

@Moaz Agha
Simple CASE statement compares an expression
to constant values, while the Searched CASE
statement evaluates conditions.
Simple CASE statement is more suitable for
scenarios with a fixed set of constant values.
Searched CASE statement allows for more
complex conditions and dynamic evaluations.
Simple CASE statement is written with an
expression followed by WHEN clauses, while
Searched CASE statement uses only WHEN
clauses.

Conditional Logic: Allows handling of complex
conditions within a single query.
Data Transformation: Enables transforming and
categorizing data based on specific conditions.
Simplifies Queries: Replaces multiple IF-ELSE
statements, making the query more concise and
readable.
Calculations: Facilitates performing calculations
and returning dynamic results based on
conditions.
@Moaz Agha
Data Categorization: Grouping data based on
specific criteria.
Data Transformation: Converting data from one
form to another.
Custom Sorting: Defining custom sorting orders
based on conditions.
Conditional Aggregation: Performing
aggregations based on different conditions.
Dynamic Reporting: Generating dynamic result
sets based on various conditions.
