CASE and DATE statement - Need Help :)

Hi

Can someone help please.

I need to create a new column with a name of "AdvertPurchasePrice" based upon a Date Value which is held in a column called "AdvertCreationDate".

If the date is before the 10th of April 2007 then the column "AdvertPurchasePrice" needs to be 299 else it needs to be 399

Can anyone help?

Steve

use the CASE...WHEN...END statement...

select AdvertPurchasePrice = case when AdvertCreationDate is before 04/10/2007 then 299
else 399
end
from mytable

this is a pseudocode, not a working code...but if you search the help on the CASE-WHEN-END syntax, you'll see what i mean
