While trying to create some views I stumbled on some
problem with using the if-then clause. Here is a
simple example :

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW public.SomeView
as select d.id,
if (true) then d.DocNumber endif from
public.Z_Documents as d;

I get the following error :
syntax error at or near "then" at character 72

I don't have a clue what is going on here. Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Emil
