To set values on the basis of conditions, use IF() method. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Age int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.55 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(19); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(16); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(17); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(22); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
Ouptut
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Age | +------+ | 19 | | 16 | | 17 | | 22 | +------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to set values on the basis of condition −
mysql> select Age,if(Age > 18,'You are qualified!','Sorry, you are rejected!') AS Result from DemoTable;
Output
This will produce the following output −
+------+-------------------------+ | Age | Result | +------+-------------------------+ | 19 | You are qualified! | | 16 | Sorry, you are rejected!| | 17 | Sorry, you are rejected!| | 22 | You are qualified! | +------+-------------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
