Jared et al:
Yes, the case statement has made it into 9i. There is the CASE expression that is usable in SQL (and PL/SQL) and two types of CASE statements as part of the PL/SQL language specification.

This sounds like a SQL feature that has not made it into the PL/SQL engine as yet. There are a number of statistical functions such as regr_slope and regr_intercept that work in SQL, but not in PL/SQL.
They are supposed to be in PL/SQL as of 9i, though I haven't checked myself.
One way to work around this is to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in your PL/SQL so that the SQL engine must parse it.
