Re: [GENERAL] Does Postgres supoort this type?

Use this:

--iif(expr,par1,par2): returns par1 if expr is true otherwise returns par2
drop function iif(bool,text,text);
create function iif(bool,text,text) returns text as
'
begin
IF $1 THEN
RETURN $2;
ELSE
RETURN $3;
END IF;
end;
' language 'plpgsql';

select iif('true','verdad','mentira');
select iif(1=1,'verdad','mentira');
select iif(2=1,'verdad','mentira');
select iif(2>1,'verdad','mentira');
select iif(2<1,'verdad','mentira');
