How to write if else if condition in SQL

I am little bit stuck need to write the SQL if else if for below logic

As only basic knowledge on SQL

Below logic need to derived to SQL query

if depcost <> empcost and empcourseid in ('A','B') 
then

   empnfees=(empvar / empdar) * empcost

else if depcost <> empcost and empcourseid <> 'A'
then
     empnfees=empcost
else
     empnfees=depcost

CodePudding user response：

Using a CASE expression, we can try:

CASE WHEN depcost <> empcost AND empcourseid IN ('A', 'B')
     THEN (empvar / empdar) * empcost
     WHEN depcost <> empcost AND empcourseid <> 'A'
     THEN empcost
     ELSE depcost END AS empnfees

CodePudding user response：

If you can have NULL values then (as NULL <> something is never true):

CASE
WHEN (  depcost <> empcost
     OR (depcost IS NULL AND empcost IS NOT NULL)
     OR (depcost IS NOT NULL AND empcost IS NULL)
     )
AND  empcourseid in ('A','B')
THEN empvar / empdar * empcost
WHEN (  depcost <> empcost
     OR (depcost IS NULL AND empcost IS NOT NULL)
     OR (depcost IS NOT NULL AND empcost IS NULL)
     )
AND  (  empcourseid <> 'A'
     OR empcourseid IS NULL
     )
THEN empcost
ELSE depcost
END AS empnfees
