Sorry Sergey, but i wasn't at home when you reply.

But you helped a lot, after your answer i tried different forms of case in the where clause and finally i got it.

Before i got an error message, saying that the syntax was incorrect, i assumed it had to do with the 'case' but that wasn't the case...

Thank you,
Joaquim
