CHOOSE() function will returns the value based on the specified index from the list of values.

SELECT CHOOSE (1, ‘SQL 2000′,’SQL 2005′, ‘SQL 2008′, ‘SQL 2012′)

Hi Rob,

there are so many new functions and features. Just wait and watch this blog space for 90 days. I decided to start with something simple first and then will take it to next level – trust me it is worth every single penny.

Again, thanks for your comment, atleast I know what is the perception and how I can help in whole matter.

Pinal, I do appreciate the look at the new Denali – I just struggle with “What is Microsoft Thinking”? I mean, not one of the new features seems to anything really new that I couldn’t do in SQL 2000. It appears they are just telling their engineers to ‘write new functions with CLR that replace existing functionality with new names and syntax’.

I’m not saying I won’t use these functions. It is just that I won’t be rushing to get Denali with my money because there doesn’t appear to be any really new functionality.

Hi Sir,
Your Denali articles series looking very interesting to me.
My Denali toolbox has now filled with functions PARSE(),TRY_PARSE(),TRY_CONVERT() ,IIF() and waiting for CHOOSE().
