Question of the Day

Too Many Choices

I have a table, dbo.MasterBrands, with this data:

BrandID OfficialName
1       Samsung
2       Apple
3       Microsoft
4       Adidas
5       Coca-Cola
I run this query. What is returned for Coca-Cola?
SELECT CHOOSE(BrandID, 'Conglomerate', 'Tech and Design', 'Desktop', 'Apparel')
FROM dbo.MasterBrands;
