Question

I need help writing some SQL. I hate to ask such a rookie question, but what is wrong with the following SQL query?

select (case when mydate < '2010-1-1' Then '2000-1-1' ELSE mydate) from mytable;

The idea is that I want to get mydate from mytable, but if the date is before January, 1, 2010, I want the statement to return January 1, 2000 instead.

Answer 1

You are missing an end

case when mydate < '2010-1-1' Then '2000-1-1' ELSE mydate END
