There are multiple problems when using an IF-Expression in your SQL-Statement
and you can not avoid to execute the statement directly (e.g. when using the
import interface):

1. IF( a > 1, col_a, col_b ):
-----------------------------
You can not use white-spaces in the expression and have to type it the 
following:
IF(a>1,col_a,col_b). This is not really a problem and has not to be fixed if
tricky.  

2. IF( a>1, col_a, col_b ):
---------------------------
The next bug is really a really problem because the parser doesn't complain but
sends the statement to the database in a wrong format. The statement that a
arrives at the database looks like the following:
IF( 'a>1', `col_a`, `col_b` ) at least MySQL doesn't throw any error when it
encounters such an IF-expression and always treats the ***String*** as a wrong
value and because of this always returns col_b.

This is OpenOffice on Linux with MySQL 4.0.23
