== Why is this an issue?
Having all branches of a `CASE`, `IF` or `IIF` chain with the same implementation indicates a problem.
In the following code:
[source,sql]
----
IF @x < 25 -- Noncompliant
PRINT 'A'
ELSE IF @x < 10
PRINT 'A'
ELSE
PRINT 'A'
SELECT
CASE col1 -- Noncompliant
WHEN 1 THEN 'A'
WHEN 2 THEN 'A'
ELSE 'A'
END,
IIF(col1 < 25, 'A', 'A') -- Noncompliant
FROM table1
----
Either there is a copy-paste error that needs fixing or an unnecessary `CASE`, `IF`, or `IIF` chain that needs removing.
=== Exceptions
This rule does not apply to `IF` or `CASE` chains without `ELSE` clauses.
[source,sql]
----
IF @x < 25 -- no issue, this could have been done on purpose to make the code more readable
PRINT 'A'
ELSE IF @x > 10
PRINT 'A'
----
