I may be overlooking something obvious, however, I cannot discern from the documentation if this is possible.
given a simple example: create table x (x_id integer); create table y (y_id integer, y_value varchar); insert into x values (1); insert into x values (2); insert into y values (1, 'Hello world'); select case when (select y_value from y where y_id = x_id) is null then 'darn' else (select y_value from y where y_id = x_id) end from x Is there any way to eliminate the second (select y_value from y where y_id = x_id)? If so, what would the query look like?
