Question

I want to set a field in my table based on another field in the table.

This is the functionality that I want:

set result = Win if ((select status from tableY) like '%Won%')
set result = Loss if ((select status from tableY) like '%lost%')

This does not compile… How do I get the correct functionality?

Answer 1

set result = case when (select status from tableY) like '%Won%'
                  then 'Win'
                  when (select status from tableY) like '%lost%'
                  then 'Lost'
               -- If neither win or lose don't change a thing
                  else result
              end
