As an update to my earlier question, is it possible to have logic in
select statements including the join? ie,
select
IF(CHAR_LENGTH(broker)0,broker,vendor) as company
from table 1
IF(CHAR_LENGTH(broker)0,INNER JOIN tblBroker,INNER JOIN tblVendor)
Thanks.

Yes, but not quite as you imagined doing it.
SELECT tbl1.*, coalesce(broker, vendor) as company
from table1 tbl1
LEFT JOIN tblBroker b
on tbl1.broker_id = b.id
LEFT JOIN tblVendor v
ON tbl1.vendor_id = v.id;
The left joins indicates that the tables on right side of the join
I'd like to do the following in my view
select
fieldOne,
fieldTwo,
if(fieldThree.length0) then fieldThree as Company
else fieldFour as Company
from table;
I realize this syntax isn't correct and length doesn't exists, but is
this possible? I've seen it done in SQLServer, but can't
