QUESTION POSED ON: 10 November 2008
I want to return multiple values in the THEN clause of a SQL CASE expression.
SELECT c.company_code, c.com_inactive_flag, e.emp_no
FROM company c, employees e
WHERE c.com_code = e.com_code
AND e.emp_status in (
CASE c.com_inactive_flag
WHEN 'N' THEN 'A'
WHEN 'Y' THEN 'B,C' END )
If the flag is N, all those employees will be retrieved who have status
A; otherwise all those who have B and C flag should be retrieved. But
because I have 'B,C' it will not return anything. Is there any
way I can put 'B,C' etc. instead of just one value like 'B'?
