Re: Oracle decode Function in Postgres

I read about that but, is there maybe somebody who wrote
A decode function so that you can export Oracle code with decode
Easily to Postgres.
I ask for that cause I am a beginner in PGPLSQL.

Of course there is an equivalent: the case construct.
There is some nice documentation about the available functions and operators at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=functions.html
and specifically for CASE:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=functions-conditional.html#AEN9698
You might also find useful to know that the NVL oracle function's parallel in postgres is COALESCE.

HTH,
Csaba.
