Changing Column Value Style using SQL Query

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to build a fantasy basketball game with APEX. I have a table that has a list of games. I need to change the color of the column value i.e. the name of the team that wins according to a SQL query Here's an example:
TABLE NAME: LATESTGAMES
Home Away Homepoints Awaypoints
Boston Cleveland 105 101
Toronto Washington 122 83
What I want to do is display the winning team i.e. Boston and Toronto in Green since that's the team that won.
The SQL query is:
SELECT HOME,
AWAY,
HOMEPOINTS,
AWAYPOINTS
from LATESTGAMES;
What do I need to do in order to display the Winning Team as Green on every column? Please Help

Hello Devilfish,
I did something like that in my DG Tournament application (http://www.dgtournament.com)
Your SQL query can look like this:
SELECT CASE
          WHEN (homepoints > awaypoints)
             THEN '<span style="color:green;">' || home || '</span>'
          ELSE home
       END AS home,
SELECT CASE
          WHEN (awaypoints > homepoints)
             THEN '<span style="color:green;">' || away|| '</span>'
          ELSE away
       END AS away,
HOMEPOINTS,
AWAYPOINTS
from LATESTGAMES;Hope that gives you an idea,
Dimitri
