Syntax error MySQL query to return TRUE for rows having positive value?

MySQL query to return TRUE for rows having positive value?

To return TRUE for positive values and FALSE for negative, use MySQL IF(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable2038
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   -> Value int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.87 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(57);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(-100);;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(-78);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.42 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(78);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(91);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)

mysql> insert into DemoTable2038(Value) values(-34);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable2038;

This will produce the following output −

+----+-------+
| Id | Value |
+----+-------+
| 1  | 57    |
| 2  | -100  |
| 3  | -78   |
| 4  | 78    |
| 5  | 91    |
| 6  | -34   |
+----+-------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to return true for rows that have positive value −

mysql> select *,if(Value > 0,true,false) as Result from DemoTable2038;

This will produce the following output −

+----+-------+--------+
| Id | Value | Result |
+----+-------+--------+
| 1  | 57    | 1      |
| 2  | -100  | 0      |
| 3  | -78   | 0      |
| 4  | 78    | 1      |
| 5  | 91    | 1      |
| 6  | -34   | 0      |
+----+-------+--------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
