Hello friends,

I do not get following output.

Query :

List employee name, salary and his income group as 'LOW' or 'HIGH' depending upon the salary amount (If the salary is less than 4000 then he is in 'LOW' income group or else in 'HIGH' income group.)

OUTPUT should be like this:

Ename Salary LOW HIGH
-------------------------------------------------------
SCOTT 3000 LOW
KING 5000 HIGH

Please let me know if u have solution.
Thanks in advance.

What have you tried so far? This looks like homework, is that the case?

I have lot's of solutions, but I personally am not prepared to do your homework for you. Show us (by copying your formattedcode and pasting it here between [code]Your code goes here [/code] tags. I'm assuming that you are using the emp table in the scott schema. If this is not the case, then also post a test case (i.e. create table and insert statements to generate a sample of the data that you are working with)

PS please refrain from using IM speak (such as u instead of you) thanks

Try This query
SELECT ename,
       sal,
       CASE
          WHEN (sal <= 4000) THEN
           'LOW'
          ELSE
           'HIGH'
       END income_group
FROM   emp

Awesome. Just do the OP's homework for him. Absolutely no point in trying to lead him to the right answer, just plonk it down in front of him just so that you can show how super and clever you are.

Hi sr_orcl,

earliar, i had tried with CASE WHEN but it had not worked.
U have given really good solution. However it doesn't give required output. I have modified query and i got required output.
I used two CASE statement for two separate columns(LOW and HIGH).
Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Somnath

That would be a bit of an oxymoronic statement surely? If it doesn't give the result, then it isn't a solution. As before, please stop using IM speak. And yet again, you refuse to post the code that you say you have written.
Good luck, I am out.
