Greetings,
the following is an MySQL statement that I would like to
translate to PostgreSQL:
Could someone point me to a documentation of a coresponding
Systax for an "IF" clause in the a SELECT,
or is the some other way to do this....
select
if(spektrum is null,' ','J'),
if(s19 is null,' ','J'),
if(OhneGrenze is null,' ','J'),
from namen;
Do I need to create my own function to allow this behaviour!
my best regards,
Stefan
use CASE
Since I'm not a user of MySQL, and if I'm reading your query correctly:
try
select (CASE when spektrum is null then 'J' else spektrum end),
...
or if you are just trying to replace nulls, then try COALESCE
