Sql Case Statement

7 New Member
Hi,
I'm new to SQL, and I'm hoping to get some help in selecting a value based on a hierachy.

What I'm trying to achieve is get the campus phone number, and if this is not available, then go down the hierarchy:
if campus phone is null then get business_phone
if business_phone is null then get permanent_phone

columns in the table are defined as follows:
emp_id, tele_code, tele_phone
1234 CA (campus) NULL
1234 PR(permanent) xxx-xxxx
1234 BU(business) xxx-xxxx

Thank you in advance for all the help.

Hi all, I skimmed through the docs for Python, and I did not find anything like a case or switch statement. I assume there is one and that I just missed it. Can someone please point me to the appropriate document, or post an example? I don't relish the idea especially long if-else statements. Joe

Hi Folks, I'm experimenting a little with creating a custom CEdit control so that I can decide on what the user is allowed to type into the control. I started off only allowing floating point numbers then added support for putting in lat/lon coordinates. I tried this little piece of code inside the OnChar function but compiler complained about missing ';' after "case _T('W'):"

An extremely stripped-down version: int Function (int something) { switch(something) { case WHATEVER:
