Oracle CASE WHEN 用法介绍
1. CASE WHEN 表达式有两种形式
--简单Case函数 CASE sex
WHEN '1' THEN '男'
WHEN '2' THEN '女'
ELSE '其他' END --Case搜索函数 CASE
WHEN sex = '1' THEN '男'
WHEN sex = '2' THEN '女'
ELSE '其他' END
2. CASE WHEN 在语句中不同位置的用法
2.1 SELECT CASE WHEN 用法
SELECT grade, COUNT (CASE WHEN sex = 1 THEN 1 /*sex 1为男生，2位女生*/
ELSE NULL
END) 男生数,
COUNT (CASE WHEN sex = 2 THEN 1
ELSE NULL
END) 女生数
FROM students GROUP BY grade;
2.3 WHERE CASE WHEN 用法
SELECT T2.*, T1.*
FROM T1, T2
WHERE (CASE WHEN T2.COMPARE_TYPE = 'A' AND
T1.SOME_TYPE LIKE 'NOTHING%'
THEN 1
WHEN T2.COMPARE_TYPE != 'A' AND
T1.SOME_TYPE NOT LIKE 'NOTHING%'
THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) = 1
2.4 GROUP BY CASE WHEN 用法
SELECT
CASE WHEN salary <= 500 THEN '1'
WHEN salary > 500 AND salary <= 600 THEN '2'
WHEN salary > 600 AND salary <= 800 THEN '3'
WHEN salary > 800 AND salary <= 1000 THEN '4'
ELSE NULL END salary_class, -- 别名命名
COUNT(*)
FROM Table_A
GROUP BY
CASE WHEN salary <= 500 THEN '1'
WHEN salary > 500 AND salary <= 600 THEN '2'
WHEN salary > 600 AND salary <= 800 THEN '3'
WHEN salary > 800 AND salary <= 1000 THEN '4'
ELSE NULL END;
3.关于IF-THEN-ELSE的其他实现
3.1 DECODE() 函数
select decode(sex, 'M', 'Male', 'F', 'Female', 'Unknown')
from employees;
貌似只有Oracle提供该函数，而且不支持ANSI SQL，语法上也没CASE WHEN清晰，个人不推荐使用。
3.2 在WHERE中特殊实现
SELECT T2.*, T1.*
FROM T1, T2
WHERE (T2.COMPARE_TYPE = 'A' AND T1.SOME_TYPE LIKE 'NOTHING%')
OR
(T2.COMPARE_TYPE != 'A' AND T1.SOME_TYPE NOT LIKE 'NOTHING%')
这种方法也是在特殊情况下使用，要多注意逻辑，不要弄错。
