Does postgresql have a built in IF function that allows one to eval a
condition and return one or another value? Like:

IIF(mybooleanfield = true, "It's true", "It's not true")

It has CASE, as in

CASE foo WHEN true THEN 'It''s true' ELSE 'It''s not true' END;


Or, for simple binary conditions like that:

CASE WHEN foo is TRUE
  THEN "it's true"
  ELSE "it's not true"
END
