bookCASE WHEN in SELECT Clauses

Using CASE WHEN in the SELECT clause allows you to create dynamic, computed columns in your query results. This technique is powerful because it enables you to transform raw data into meaningful categories or labels directly as you retrieve it, without altering the underlying tables. For instance, you can instantly classify products as "Expensive" or "Affordable" based on their price, making your reports clearer and more actionable.


              
12345678

            
SELECT
  product,
  price,
  CASE
    WHEN price >= 500 THEN 'Expensive'
    ELSE 'Affordable'
  END AS price_category
FROM sales;
copy

In this query, the CASE WHEN expression is placed inside the SELECT clause. For each row in the sales table, SQL checks the value of the price column. If the price is greater than or equal to 500, the computed column price_category will show "Expensive"; otherwise, it will display "Affordable". This computed column is generated on the fly, allowing you to instantly see the categorization alongside the original data.


              
12345678910

            
SELECT
  product,
  price,
  CASE
    WHEN price >= 1000 THEN 'Luxury'
    WHEN price >= 500 THEN 'Expensive'
    WHEN price >= 100 THEN 'Moderate'
    ELSE 'Budget'
  END AS price_tier
FROM sales;
copy
