Hi I want to replace multiple values within in a column, and leave the rest at default.
the values that should be replaced are those less than 1 with 2.00.

I've tried the code beneath, but didn't work.
Anyone who can give me a pointer in the right direction?

Thanks

What I have tried:

SELECT Production.price
CASE
WHEN Cost < 1 THEN '2.00'
END
FROM production;

CASE

END
FROM production;

Problem: your syntax (even though you didn't tell us that's the problem).

Like what should it do when when cost >=1 (an ELSE option). It's really quite a mess for so little code - at least in so far as you've given no information about the source of your data. Or even what the problem is (doesn't work isn't helpful)
