This might be obscure but I want to set a max value on an integer in one of my queries. Basically if the value rawsentiment is greater than 500, I just want to have it be 500 but if its less, than I want it to use that value. Would this be possible? It looks like this:

SELECT avg( rawsentiment * magic_coefficient ) FROM sentiment

But I need to do something like this (warning it looks very non-SQL like)

SELECT avg(  ( 500 if (rawsentiment>500) else (rawsentiment) ) * magic_coefficient) FROM sentiment
