From: Eric Douglas <e.d.programmer@gmail.com>

I'm using JDBC with java.sql.PreparedStatement on SQL Server 2012.

I'm trying to write a translate that says "select <map value> (where
table1.field = <map key>) from table1"

Getting a bit tired of writing it as "select iif(table1.field = 'first
key','first value',iif(table1.field = 'second key','second value','default'))
from table1"

Just a better syntax to do such a thing within the SQL, or a way to pass the
values as a parameter?  Ideally I would just create a table and write the
values there and join that table, but I don't want to alter that database which
 was created by our third party application.

I was hoping to avoid the other option, modifying the code that gets the
results of the query to translate that result field, since this section of the
code is generic - used to send the results of multiple queries to a
spreadsheet.
