Common mistakes with SQL CASE WHEN
- Missing ELSE clauses for unmatched cases
- Overlapping or incorrect condition order
- Not handling NULLs explicitly
- Using CASE when a JOIN or lookup table is clearer
- Mixing data types in CASE outputs
How CASE WHEN questions are evaluated in interviews
Correct logic and ordering are more important than syntax tricks.
Explain your assumptions and how edge cases are handled.
Keep CASE statements readable and well-structured.
