Syntax error Set custom messages for enum values in MySQL

Set custom messages for enum values in MySQL



Use the if else to set custom messages for enum. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable1992
(
   ClientId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   ClientName varchar(20),
   isActive ENUM('Y','N')
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.89 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1992(ClientName,isActive) values('Chris','N');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1992(ClientName,isActive) values('Bob','N');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1992(ClientName,isActive) values('David','Y');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1992(ClientName,isActive) values('Carol','N');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1992;

This will produce the following output −

+----------+------------+----------+
| ClientId | ClientName | isActive |
+----------+------------+----------+
|        1 | Chris      | N        |
|        2 | Bob        | N        |
|        3 | David      | Y        |
|        4 | Carol      | N        |
+----------+------------+----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to set custom messages with if else

mysql> select ClientName,if(isActive='Y','Active Member','Not Active Member') as Result from DemoTable1992;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+-------------------+
| ClientName | Result            |
+------------+-------------------+
| Chris      | Not Active Member |
| Bob        | Not Active Member |
| David      | Active Member     |
| Carol      | Not Active Member |
+------------+-------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
