Description

This statement allows you to make decisions based on certain conditions. (Redshift SQL Language Reference Conditionals: IF).

SnowConvert will add the parenthesis in the conditions and change the keyword ELSIF by ELSEIF since Redshift does not require the parenthesis in the conditions and ELSIF is the keyword.

Grammar Syntax

IF boolean-expression THEN
  statements
[ ELSIF boolean-expression THEN
  statements
[ ELSIF boolean-expression THEN
  statements
    ...] ]
[ ELSE
  statements ]
END IF;

Sample Source Patterns

Input Code:

Redshift

IN -> Redshift_01.sql

CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1 (paramNumber int)
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE
    result VARCHAR(100);	
BEGIN
    IF paramNumber = 0 THEN
      result := 'zero';
    ELSIF paramNumber > 0 THEN
      result := 'positive';
    ELSIF paramNumber < 0 THEN
      result := 'negative';
    ELSE
      result := 'NULL';
    END IF;
END;
$$;

Output Code:

Redshift

OUT -> Redshift_01.sql

CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1 (paramNumber int)
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE SQL
COMMENT = '{ "origin": "sf_sc", "name": "snowconvert", "version": {  "major": 0,  "minor": 0,  "patch": "0" }, "attributes": {  "component": "redshift",  "convertedOn": "07/11/2025",  "domain": "no-domain-provided" }}'
AS $$
        DECLARE
            result VARCHAR(100);
BEGIN
            IF (:paramNumber = 0) THEN
                result := 'zero';
            ELSEIF (:paramNumber > 0) THEN
                result := 'positive';
            ELSEIF (:paramNumber < 0) THEN
                result := 'negative';
              ELSE
                result := 'NULL';
            END IF;
END;
