IF statement in Select - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hello all,

Is the use of IF statement restrict to Functions and Store Procedures?

I'm trying to use an IF within Select...

Example:
create view v1 as
select c1,c2,if c3 = 52 then 0else 1endif as base_irrf_13from t1;

Thanks in advance,

Renato Cramer.
