Syntax error Set conditions while adding column values in MySQL?

Set conditions while adding column values in MySQL?

To set conditions while adding column values, use MySQL IF(). Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
   -> (
   -> Value1 int,
   -> Value2 int,
   -> Value3 int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.64 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(10,20,-30);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(50,60,90);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(100,200,400);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(30,40,-50);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(70,80,-1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+--------+--------+
| Value1 | Value2 | Value3 |
+--------+--------+--------+
|     10 |     20 |    -30 |
|     50 |     60 |     90 |
|    100 |    200 |    400 |
|     30 |     40 |    -50 |
|     70 |     80 |     -1 |
+--------+--------+--------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to set conditions while adding column values −

mysql> select Value1+Value2+if(Value3 > 0,Value3,0) from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+---------------------------------------+
| Value1+Value2+if(Value3 > 0,Value3,0) |
+---------------------------------------+
|                                    30 |
|                                   200 |
|                                   700 |
|                                    70 |
|                                   150 |
+---------------------------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
