Question

I have a table called PEOPLE that shows

Name Sex
++++ ++++++
Tom 1
Jane 2

In the sex column the numbers equal gender 1=Male 2=Female

I would like to

Select Name, Sex (replacing either 1 or 2 with Male or Female) from people

The result showing

Tom Male
Jane Female

I do not wish to alter the data in the DB just change the way the data is presented from the select.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

               else 'Female'
