    As always with Oracle … AskTom…

    From this post…

    Decode is somewhat obscure — CASE is
    very very clear. Things that are
    easy to do in decode are easy to do in
    CASE, things that are hard or near
    impossible to do with decode are easy
    to do in CASE. CASE, logic wise, wins
    hands down.

    From a performance point of view seems they are about the same, again above article mentions some speed differences but without benchmarking the particular statements it’s hard to say.
