Hi all

i need to update two columns in a table based on two conditions

UPDATE COMPANY_TYPE
SET COMP_PUB_ID_OPTION_CODE = 'REQ'
WHERE ASK_FOR_PUB_ID ='-1'

UPDATE COMPANY_TYPE
SET COMP_PUB_ID_OPTION_CODE = 'OPT'
WHERE ASK_FOR_PUB_ID ='0'

What i wanted to ask is..can i replace the above two update statements with single update statement
Thanks

[code]
UPDATE COMPANY_TYPE
SET COMP_PUB_ID_OPTION_CODE = case when ASK_FOR_PUB_ID = '-1' then 'REQ'
when ASK_FOR_PUB_ID = '0' then 'OPT'
end,
WHERE ASK_FOR_PUB_ID in ('0', '-1')
[/code]

or If it is for display, just use them in Select


Select columns,case when ASK_FOR_PUB_ID = '-1' then 'REQ' 
                                      when ASK_FOR_PUB_ID = '0'  then 'OPT' 
                                      else ASK_FOR_PUB_ID end
from table
