Hello all ... be gentle, I'm new at this: I've got a simple case query. One works (the top one), but when I try to add additional columns to the query it fails. I reckon it's a pretty simple mistake I'm making, but I don't know what. Any help is appreciated.
----------------------------------------------------- This works ... SELECT CASE WHEN CHARACTER_LENGTH(system) > 65 then CONCAT(LEFT(system, 60), " ...") ELSE system END ------------------------------------------------------ This doesn't ... SELECT CASE WHEN CHARACTER_LENGTH(system) > 65 then CONCAT(LEFT(system, 60), " ..."), wsh_year, id ELSE system, wsh_year, id END FROM wsh Maybe an IF statement would work better here?
