Working with the IIF Statement in T-SQL

Working with the IIF Statement in T-SQL

Why Trust Us

You can use the IIF statement to check quickly for conditions. For example:

DECLARE @Spy varchar(20) = '07' SELECT IIF(@Spy = '007', 'Bond, James Bond', 'Ernst Stavro Blofeld')

If the Spy Variable is 007, then it will return “Bond, James Bond.” If it is anything else, it will return the second part of the statement, which is: “Ernst Stavro Blofeld”
