Is there any way to evaluate a field in a SELECT query w/o writting a User Function? This is an example of the logic that I would like to have in a view:
select if([state]='NY','New York',[state]) as state_desc from state_tab
If the state column is NY then it would output New York, otherwise, it would return the value from the field.
Any Ideas,
