Would it be possible to create an IF statement in a WHERE clause, I would need something like this in order to filter a certain product.

For example if product 005 has a ranking of 100 or less than the product should not show up in my query results

For example…

SELECT b.id, b.rank 
FROM b_products b 
WHERE IF(b.id = '005' AND b.rank < 100, b.id != '005')

    The IF() function expects three arguments, not two:

    IF(expr1,expr2,expr3)

    If expr1 is TRUE (expr1 <> 0 and expr1 <> NULL) then IF() returns
    expr2; otherwise it returns expr3. IF() returns a numeric or string
    value, depending on the context in which it is used.

    However, you haven’t described anything that cannot be accomplished with a proper boolean expression:

    SELECT b.id, b.rank 
FROM b_products b 
WHERE b.id<>'005'
OR (b.id='005' AND b.rank<100)
