Yep, for example, I created a simple users table and then issued a delete
with an IF statement. i.e
CREATE TABLE users (
user_name varchar,
password varchar,
state varchar,
PRIMARY KEY (user_name)
);
INSERT INTO users
(user_name, password, state)
VALUES ('jsmith', 'ch@ngem3a', 'alive');
DELETE password FROM users WHERE user_name = 'jsmith' IF state = 'alive';
And note that the delete won't go through if the state is something else,
i.e. 'dead', as expected.
