Control flow In this lesson, we'll introduce two main control flow functions, the CASE and Essential SQL
functions IF statements. We will focus on the syntax and practical applications of these functions
functions to learn how to categorise and conditionally manipulate data.
Additionally, we'll learn how to nest these functions and combine them with other SQL
features, such as aggregate functions and the GROUP BY clause. By the end of this
lesson, you'll have the knowledge and skills to navigate control flow functions and apply
techniques to handle data based on specific conditions.
