Answer 1

I don't have the entire table query...
but could u tell me wil the sql given below work ....
if not, why? and what can be done to make it work ?
SELECT * FROM Customers 
where case select  CustomerID from customers 
when 8 then 'Spock'
when 9 then 'Yedi'
else 'Jedi'
end;
Nope
because of wrong syntax
What the purpose of the case when statement here? I'm not seeing a condition in WHERE. You should use it in a condition like below
SELECT * FROM Customers
where case CustomerID
when 8 then 'Spock'
when 9 then 'Yedi'
else 'Jedi'
end = @SomeParameter
