SQL> SELECT ename, CASE WHEN sal>1000 THEN 'Over paid' ELSE 'Under paid' END
2 FROM emp;
SELECT ename, CASE WHEN sal>1000 THEN 'Over paid' ELSE 'Under paid' END

Use Decode function in Oracle. It would be like this:
SELECT ename, DECODE(sign(sal-1000),1,'Over Paid','Under Paid') SalCategory FROM emp;
