Re: Retrieving 'Credit' when 'C'

Hello,

Does anyone know how to make a Select that even having a Char(1) with the
letter C the statement makes the rows appearing 'CREDIT' ?

Like:
On table:

When Type
2007-01-01 C
2007-01-02 C
2007-01-03 C

On SQL result
When Type
2007-01-01 CREDIT
2007-01-02 CREDIT
2007-01-03 CREDIT

Thanks in advande,

SELECT when,

CASE WHEN type = 'C' THEN 'Credit' END AS type

FROM mytable;

Assuming your column names are actually "when" and "type" you should just
have to change "mytable" to the correct table name and run in psql or the
SQL Window of pgAdmin or wherever you usually run your SQL queries to get
what you want.
