I want to replace an unknown string from HomeMDB with "YES" in my select statement.
Since I don't know what the value is or the exact length how do I replace the string with my own value?


SELECT TOP(250)Data.id, Data.HomeMDB
From Data
Where id = '%'

So lets say this query came back as:
id HomeMDB
11 CN=FLDPHIK09-12,ou=something,etc,etc,etc,etc
12 NULL


How can I get it to look like:
id HomeMDB
11 YES
12 ---

I know how to change the NULL value to '---'

How about something like:
SELECT TOP(250)Data.id, CASE WHEN Data.HomeMDB IS NULL THEN '---' ELSE 'YES' END AS HomeMDB
From Data
Where id = '%'
