SWAP SEX FIELD

Given a table salary, such as the one below, that has m=male and f=female values. Swap all f and m values (i.e., change all f values to m and vice versa) with a single update query and no intermediate temp table.

For example:
| id | name | sex | salary |
|----|------|-----|--------|
| 1  | A    | m   | 2500   |
| 2  | B    | f   | 1500   |
| 3  | C    | m   | 5500   |
| 4  | D    | f   | 500    |
After running your query, the above salary table should have the following rows:| id | name | sex | salary |
|----|------|-----|--------|
| 1  | A    | f   | 2500   |
| 2  | B    | m   | 1500   |
| 3  | C    | f   | 5500   |
| 4  | D    | m   | 500    |

Solution :

Approach 1:update salary
  set sex =
  case
  when sex='m' then 'f'
  when sex='f' then 'm'
  else sex
  end
Approach 2:update salary
set sex = case sex
when 'm' then 'f' else 'm'
end
