## example

```
mysql> select user_id, case user_id when 1 then 'user_id = 1' when 2 then 'user_id = 2' else 'user_id not exist' end test_case from test;
+---------+-------------+
| user_id | test_case   |
+---------+-------------+
| 1       | user_id = 1 |
| 2       | user_id = 2 |
+---------+-------------+
 
mysql> select user_id, case when user_id = 1 then 'user_id = 1' when user_id = 2 then 'user_id = 2' else 'user_id not exist' end test_case from test;

| user_id | test_case   |
