Can you pls explain it more?What should be the output if the size is :'X,M,L,XL,XXL"?

For the size variable, isn't it to be 'S,M,L,XL,XXL'? Is this a question about T-Shirt inventory?

Solution 1

have you look into (CASE WHEN THEN ELSE END)?

SELECT (CASE WHEN ColumnName='0,0,0,0' THEN 'X,M,L' else '?????' end) as OutputResult from TableName

Good Luck
