Hi Team
Thanks FOR your prompt response....But USING CASE issue still NOT resolved
....Oracle prompts same error.
Team its a simple query but really instresting one...
Following data has been updated IN TABLE DVDs
INSERT INTO DVDs (Name, NumDisks, RatingID, StatID)
VALUES('Mash', 2, 'R', 's2'), ('View', 1, 'NR', 's1'), ('Show', 2, 'NR',
's2'), ('Amadeus', 1, 'PG', 's2') , ('Falcon', 1, 'NR', 's2'),
('Africa', 1, 'PG', 's1'), ('Doc', 1, 'G', 's2') , ('Christmas', 1, 'NR',
's1');
