Subject: Query to return modified results at runtime?
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2006 19:29:23 -0500
Message-ID: <44876F63.9030302@dafunks.com> (raw)

I have a query:

SELECT * FROM testtable;

Where the results are:

ID    Color
---   -------
1     Blue
2     Red
3     Green
4     Orange

How would I rewrite the query to return results where the colors are 
replaced by letters to give the following results?

ID    Color
---   -------
1     A
2     D
3     B
4     C
