Answer 1

There's two options for CASE statements - the one you posted, or:

SELECT CASE 
        WHEN Confirm_Status IS NULL OR Confirm_Status = 0 THEN 'Not Confirmed' 
        ELSE  'Confirmed' 
       END AS ConfirmStatus

But you could probably use:

SELECT CASE 
        WHEN Confirm_Status > 0 THEN 'Confirmed' 
        ELSE  'Not Confirmed' 
       END AS ConfirmStatus

NULL is the absence of a value, so checking for values above zero should fall into the same category as zero.

Answer 2

SELECT IF((Confirm_Status IS NULL OR Confirm_Status = 0), 
           'Not Confirmed', 'Confirmed') AS ConfirmStatus
FROM tblConfirmationStatus;
