I am not sure in 9i. But in 8i I think you can use "case" in sql but not in
pl/sql. You have to use if elsif in pl/sql.

Subject: ** is there PL/SQL for case
Hi,
Is there a statement in pl/SQL like case or is if elsif the only way.
Meaning if I need to transalate state depending on input number as follows :
1 - CA 2 - OR 3 - WA 4 - AR
Can I have one statement like case 'state# :
etc.
or do i have to do :
IF state# = 1 THEN
state := 'CA';
ELSIF state# = 2 THEN
state := 'OR';
etc
Thank You.
