Sadly, that didn't work: Your MySQL connection id is 208517 to server version: 4.0.14-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> SELECT -> CASE WHEN status IN('BR', 'VQ', 'RQ', 'NG' ) -> THEN -> 'binding' -> CASE WHEN status IN('NA', 'NG', 'RA') -> END as action -> FROM master_info WHERE -> (( status IN ( 'BR', 'VQ', 'RQ', 'NG' )) OR -> ( status IN ( 'NA', 'NG', 'RA' ))); ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CASE WHEN status IN('NA', 'NG', 'RA') END as action FROM master Do you have something similar that works?
