How to use SQL Select statement with IF EXISTS sub query?

Question

How to select Boolean value from sub query with IF EXISTS statement (SQL Server)?

It should be something like :

SELECT 
  TABEL1.Id, 
  NewFiled = (IF EXISTS(SELECT Id FROM TABLE2 WHERE TABLE2.ID = TABEL1.ID) 
                 SELECT 'TRUE' 
              ELSE 
                 SELECT 'FALSE') 
FROM TABEL1

Answer 1

Use CASE:

SELECT 
  TABEL1.Id, 
  CASE WHEN EXISTS (SELECT Id FROM TABLE2 WHERE TABLE2.ID = TABLE1.ID)
       THEN 'TRUE' 
       ELSE 'FALSE'
  END AS NewFiled  
FROM TABLE1

If TABLE2.ID is Unique or a Primary Key, you could also use this:

SELECT 
  TABEL1.Id, 
  CASE WHEN TABLE2.ID IS NOT NULL
       THEN 'TRUE' 
       ELSE 'FALSE'
  END AS NewFiled  
FROM TABLE1
  LEFT JOIN Table2
    ON TABLE2.ID = TABLE1.ID
