** is there PL/SQL for case

[A Joshi]

Hi,

  Is there a statement in pl/SQL like case or is if elsif the only way. Meaning if I need to transalate state depending on input number as follows :

 

1 - CA

2 - OR

3 - WA

4 - AR

 

Can I have one statement like case 'state# :

 

1: state := 'CA'

2: state := 'OR'

 

etc.

 

or do i have to do :

 

IF state# = 1 THEN

  state := 'CA';

ELSIF state# = 2 THEN

  state := 'OR';

 

etc

 

Thank You.
