Logical functions

CASECASE

Syntax:
CASE expression WHEN value_1 THEN result_1 [ WHEN value_2 THEN result_2 ... ] ELSE default_result END
or
CASE( expression, value_1, result_1, [ value_2, result_2, ... ] default_result )

Compares expression to value_1, value_2, ... consecutively and returns the corresponding result for the first match. If no match is found, it returns default_result.

IFIF

Syntax:
IF condition_1 THEN result_1 [ ELSEIF condition_2 THEN result_2 ... ] ELSE default_result END
or
IF( condition_1, result_1, [ condition_2, result_2, ... ] default_result )

Checks conditional expressions condition_1, result_1, ... and returns the matching result for the first condition found to be TRUE. IF all conditional expressions are FALSE, it returns default_result. The expressions to be checked are set using logical operators.

IFNULLIFNULL

Syntax:IFNULL( check_value, alt_value )

Returns check_value if it's not NULL. Otherwise returns alt_value.

ISNULLISNULL

Syntax:
ISNULL( expression )
or
expression IS [ NOT ] NULL

Returns TRUE if expression is NULL, otherwise returns FALSE.

expression IS NOT NULL returns the opposite result.

ZNZN

Syntax:ZN( expression )

Returns expression if it's not NULL. Otherwise returns 0.
