SELECT ename
, job
, CASE deptno
WHEN 10
THEN 'ACCOUNTS'
WHEN 20
THEN 'SALES'
ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
END AS department
FROM emp /* !!! */
WHERE department = 'SALES'
This fails:
ORA-00904: "%s: invalid identifier"
Is there a way to overcome this limitation in Oracle 10.2 SQL ? How to use the 'case expression column' in where clause ?
