Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Decode/ Case Issue

Sep 20, 2010 1:01PM edited Sep 21, 2010 6:37PM in SQL Language (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I have a table A having following definition:
A_ID number
A_Name varchar
A_Prnt_ID number
A_Code varchar

I have to write a SQL statement with the following logic:

If A_Code = 'ABC' ,then query must return A_name of A_Prnt_ID, else it must return the A_name of A_ID

How do we implement this?? Neither CASE nor DECODE will work I believe.

Thanks in advance!
