Replace

Table having only one column. The column having 5 values those are 'A', 'A','A','B','B'
I want output like this 'B', 'B','B','A','A'.

I got the output by using CASE Statement. Is there any other approach to get the output.

SELECT Column_Name,
CASE WHEN Column_Name = 'A' THEN 'B'
ELSE 'A'
END
FROM EMPDB.DBO.TABLE_ABC;

Possibly..
