I want to select *, and not have to type out all individual columns, but I also want to include a custom column with a case statement. I tried the following:
select *, (case when PRI_VAL = 1 then 'High'
when PRI_VAL = 2 then 'Med'
when PRI_VAL = 3 then 'Low'
end) as PRIORITY
from MYTABLE;
But it is complaining that
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
Add an alias for mytable like this:
select t.*, (case when PRI_VAL = 1 then 'High'
when PRI_VAL = 2 then 'Med'
when PRI_VAL = 3 then 'Low'
end) as PRIORITY
from MYTABLE t;
This is not dependent on any specific Oracle version, not sure about other databases.
