CASE expression is an atomic Oracle SQL lesson inside Core Oracle SQL. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on CASE expression rather than on generic Oracle SQL syntax.

SELECT employee_id,CASE WHEN salary>=10000 THEN 'senior-band' ELSE 'standard-band' END AS salary_band FROM employees;
Edge case / engineering note
Test CASE expression with an empty result, NULL/missing value, duplicate key, or concurrent operation where relevant; database behavior should be verified at the boundary shown by this example.
